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.
