Reginold E. Paige III was born to Donesha Jackson and Reginold E. Paige Jr. at Research Medical Center on February 11, 2011, weighing in at 9lbs 8ozs, at that size, he was bound to be a football player. 

Reggie was educated in the Center School district, attending, pre-k at Boone Elementary and Indian Creek Elementary. He later moved to Marietta, GA where he attended Duntieth Elementary School. While in GA, Reggie played soccer first and that was his introduction into sports. Reggie and the family moved back to Kansas City, MO and he attended Grandview Middle School and Grandview High School until his death on March 2, 2026. 

Reggie was the Jack-of-all trades at such a young age. He loved football, soccer, wrestling, and drawing, which was something he was really good at doing. He also loved to cook and to build Legos. He was often called Reggie, the “little architect”. 

Losing his Dad shortly after his 11th birthday was very hard for him, especially with it being the first funeral that he’d ever had to attend. 

Sports came easy for Reggie. He loved to wrestle and he wrestled in honor of his Dad. While most young boys liked riding bikes and skateboards, Reggie loved riding the RIP stick. Reggie and Ricco, his brother, were both very smart children. Both of their rooms were decorated with their certificates from school, football awards and special programs honors. 

Reggie first started to play football when his big cousin, Fonzie, introduced him and his little brother to Coach Chris of the Rebels. Then, Reggie met Coach Koreyon and Coach Veto. Signing Reggie up to play football for GT Elite football team became a major part of his life. The coaches and the team became like a second family to Reggie and Ricco. Reggie had a special and unique relationship with Coach Koreyon. As time went by, their relationship was nothing short of amazing! Reggie was loved by coaches and teachers alike.

Reggie had his own fashion style. He loved being different in his fashion, especially flossin’ in his hoodies with certain outfits. Reggie was a born leader and he showed his leadership skills in many situations; especially with his brothers. He faced challenges head on, nothing was too big of a challenge for him. Reggie and Ricco were very close, like Irish twins and loved to secretly challenge Elijah every chance they got. But, big brother was way too quiet not to see what Reggie was up to in advance. 

Reggie was well loved and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
