Reginald "Reggie" Allen Day of Grain Valley, Missouri passed away on Friday December 30, 2022, from pneumonia brought on by Covid, surrounded by his loving family. Reggie, son of Donald H Day and Enid Rahe (Barnes) Atkinson, was born on October 13, 1943 in Jackson County MO. Reggie was an avid genealogist and enjoyed raising Koi fish in his award winning Koi pond. He was able to trace his lineage back to the American Revolution and became a Son of the American Revolution. Reggie never met anyone that he wasn't able to engage in a conversation and was willing to help anyone in need, especially family. Reggie retired from Armco/GST Steel in 1999 after 32 years of service, then worked for the Blue Springs school district for 5 years. Reggie met the love of his life, Linda Joyce Dyer in 1957 at the age of 14. They were married on March 7, 1964 and went on to have almost 59 years filled with the truest love ever known. His love for his family was unconditional. He showed up for football, soccer, baseball, wrestling, ice skating and swim meets for his children and grandchildren whenever possible. We will forever remember your laugh and the ornery twinkle in your baby blue eyes. Reggie is preceded in death by his parents, Enid (1991) and Donald (2010).
