Reji John Joseph was born on July 26th, 1965 in Bahrain. Reji spent most of his young adult life in India with his mother, Mariamma; his older brother, Roy; and his younger brother, Aby. It was also in India where he met a wonderful woman named Nancy, who would later become his wife and closest companion.
In 1983, Reji graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in Chennai. He then attended M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. He then attended the University of Texas at Arlington in 1995, where he got his Master of Science in Information Systems. During his time at UTA, Reji managed to balance life as a full-time employee, a part-time student, and a full-time family man.
Some of Reji's most treasured moments were attending his children's soccer games, playing tennis with his friends, and Friday family movie nights. But what Reji loved the most was serving the Lord and His Church. Reji is survived by his wife, Nancy, and his three children, Hannah, Cassie, and Zach.
Throughout his life, Reji lived out the words of his favorite Bible verse, Galatians 2:20, "I am crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."
