Reginald David Hensley's Obituary
Reginald David Hensley was born on August 31, 1961 to the
proud parents, Robert Lewis Hensley and Annette Yvonne Hensley in
Saint Louis, Missouri.
Reggie loved the Lord and was baptized at Antioch Baptist Church in
Fulton, Tennessee. He also enjoyed visiting a number of churches
throughout St. Louis Metropolitan areas.
Reggie loved his family dearly. He was truly our organizer, especially
when it came to a family member’s birthday celebration. He would
routinely call to remind the entire family, day or night, to ensure that we
acknowledged each other’s birthday. Reggie was one of a kind!!! And
when it came to hosting the Hensley’s Super Bowl or Fight parties, he
would entertain and cater to every person ensuring that they were
having a great time. Reggie enjoyed watching sports, soap operas,
classic cowboy movies, washing cars, fishing, listening to soul music
and of course indulging in a beverage of choice from time to time.
Reggie was a very friendly kind-hearted person, and when it came to
serving his community and the Senior Adults of Velda City, nothing was
more rewarding. He would often deliver Thanksgiving dinners and
Christmas baskets. He would assist with all the set-ups for the special
events held at Velda City, City Hall.
Reggie was educated in the St. Louis Public Schools and graduated
from Normandy High School 1979. He began working in a number of
different professions as a young man, which led to business ownership
as a successful lawn care service for over 30 years.
Reggie departed this life Tuesday, December 26, 2017 and will be
greatly loved and missed by so many, forever. His mother, Annette
Yvonne Hensley, grandfather, David Hensley, and grandmother, Lillian
Hensley all preceded him in death.
