Reginald Curtis Boykins was born March 11, 1956, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the union of Betty J. Shaw and Curtis Boykins. Reggie was the oldest of four.
Reginal accepted Jesus at a young age at the New St. John Baptist Church, under the late Pastor Robert Flowers. Even though Marcus was his brother, he was his best friend. Later in life, he united with the Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church under Pastor Calvin A. Harper. He sang in the choir and was an usher.
Reggie was affectionately known as "Peanut." In his youth, he was an excellent baseball player. He was the Jack of All Trades and the Master of them all. He could paint, he did roofing and was a skilled auto mechanic. He was taught by his father, Curtis and his uncle, Ernest. Reggie was his mother's maintenance man. One of his many sayings was "That's your story. I'll let you tell it", "Ok Momma don't worry about it", and "I got your back."
"Uncle Reggie" to his nieces and nephews, never forgot a birthday or Christmas. He was a great Big Brother; I remember when we were in high school and people called me (Pamela) "Little Reggie." Our sister Linda thought she was our momma and Reggie would say "You ain't' my momma", my momma name is Betty Boykins.
