Reginald "Reggie" M Widgeon, Sr was born to Theodore and the late Mayfield Weeks Widgeon on January 3, 1947 in Eastville, Virginia.  He peacefully entered eternal rest on July 9, 2023 surrounded by his loving family.

Reggie accepted Jesus Christ and was baptized at a young age at Union Baptist Church in Eastville, Virginia.  In his adult life, he joined From the Heart Church Ministries where he served in the Special Services Ministry for over 20 years.  He had a huge heart and was a man of great faith.

Reggie was educated in the Northampton County Public School System and graduated from Northampton County High School , Machipongo, Virginia.  He continued his education at Norfolk State College (now University), where he received an associated degree in electronics.  Also, he attended the University of Maryland and Tuck Business School at Dartmouth in Minority Business Entrepreneurship.  He was also a product, as a civilian, of the U.S. Navy Electronics Technology Apprenticeship Program.

Reggie was joined in holy matrimony to Eloise P Gilchrist in October 1981.  As an inseparable couple, they enjoyed fine dining, traveling and dreaming of life's possibilities.  He traveled to 48 of the 50 states and various destinations outside the United States.  On several occasions, his parents traveled on vacations with him and his family.
