Mr. Reginald Lampkin was born May 8, 1965 in Memphis, Tennessee to Walter and Tantileer (Scott) Lampkin. Our beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at the age of 54 years.
Reginald, called “Reggie” by family and friends, was a graduate of Saginaw High School, “Class of 1984.” In 1985, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served his country proudly for four years.
