Reginald Jerome Isaac
Reginald’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end. Reginald was a loving son, brother, husband, devoted father, uncle and friend to many.
Reginald Jerome Isaac was born in Dallas, Texas on August 11, 1962 to Leon Isaac, Jr. and Dorothy McMillian-Isaac. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Reggie had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet memorable life.
Reggie attended and graduated from David. W. Carter High School, May 23, 1980. Reggie began his career with Dallas Independent School District and was employed for many years and retired from the City of Dallas after 13 dedicated years. Reggie was also self-employed where he was able to generate successful businesses. He believed that a dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work which he exemplified.
God, family and friends were very important in Reggie’s life. He united with Friendship-West Baptist Church where he confessed his beliefs in Christ throughout his life. His life gave evidence of his faith in God. We thank God for Reggie and his God-like spirit, but most of all his shining example of faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
