Obituary For Reginald Calvin Brown, Jr.

WASHINGTON – Visitation service will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. at Community Chapel Church of God In Christ, 1606 W. College Ave., Opelousas, LA for Mr. Reginald Calvin Brown, Jr. affectionately known as “Fire Bug”. Graveside service will be held at 10:45 a.m. at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Washington, LA with the interment immediately following.

Rev. Robert Dupre, Pastor of Greater Shiloh Baptist Church, will be officiating the graveside service.

Mr. Reginald Calvin “Fire Bug” Brown Jr., 34, was born on March 03, 1986 to Reginald Calvin Brown Sr. and Joy Joseph Brown and entered eternal rest on Friday, September 18, 2020 in Washington, LA. Reginald Jr. had a great love for his family, fishing, hunting, riding horses and Southern University football games with his Dad. He loved being a hands-on father and watching his sons and stepdaughter grow. We will miss him dearly but cherish the thought he is in a far better place with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Reginald is survived by his wife, Tonya; three sons, Andre Brown, Reginald “Calvin” Brown III, Aston Brown, and stepdaughter Ashlynn who he loved as his own; his father Reginald Brown Sr; five sisters Lorenza, Lea, Mary, Timika (Andre) and Melissa (Robert); two brothers Larry and Nathaniel; paternal grandparents Wilbert and Rosa Lee Ledet; three uncles, Renard (Shirley), Rufus Sr. and Milton; four paternal aunts Loretta, Jocelyn, Debra and Ursula; godsons Braylon and Aaron; and a host of nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces, extended family members and close friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother Joy Marie Brown, brother Kenyetti, maternal grandparents, Willis and Lorena Joseph; and his paternal grandfather, Calvin Brown Jr.

** Please be advised we will adhere to the safety measures and precautions provided by the state of Louisiana due to COVID-19. Mask are required for those who will be in attendance. There is limited seating for the Immediate Family.**
