Reginald

Grant

Reginald Lamar Grant, lovingly known as "Reggie," was born on November 28, 1964, to the late Robert Lee Grant and Doris Virgina Cody. His life came to a close on November 2, 2026, leaving his family and friends with treasured memories and a love that will remain in their hearts. Reggie was born and raised in the Washington, D.C., area, where he attended public schools. He later moved to Columbus, Georgia, and completed his high school education. His journey carried him from his beginnings in Washington to new experiences in Georgia. After finishing high school, Reggie joined the United States Army, serving his country for several years. His family honors his service and remembers this important chapter of his life. After leaving the Army, Reggie made his home in New York. There, he met his lovely wife, Tonia Grant. Together, they shared 29 years of marriage. Their years together hold a lifetime of memories, shared experiences, and family connections that will continue to be cherished by those who love him. Reggie loved football, and his favorite team was the Washington Commanders. His enthusiasm for his team was a special part of who he was. Burgundy and gold will always bring thoughts of Reggie and his joy in the game. He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Tonia Grant; his children, Shakara S. Davis and Jamar L. Dickens Sr.; and his niece, Aniyah S. Davis, whom he raised. He is also lovingly remembered by his brother, Harris Cody of Augusta, Georgia; his sisters, Chikela Cody of Poughkeepsie, New York, and Debra Grant of District Heights, Maryland; his uncle, Ernest Harris of Stone Mountain, Georgia; his aunt, Sue Moody of Poughkeepsie, New York; and a host of extended family members and friends. As we say goodbye, we give thanks for the years we shared with Reggie. His absence will be deeply felt, but the memories of his life will remain woven into our own. We will speak his name with love, remember him with gratitude, and carry him in our hearts always.  A Memorial service will be held on Thursday November 12, from 10:30 to 11:30 at the Joseph J.
