Jerry W. Reagan, 69, of North Little Rock passed from this life into the welcoming arms of Jesus on Wednesday, September 7, 2016. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, after an extended illness. He was born November 19, 1946 to Raymond and Virginia Reagan in Augusta, AR.

Jerry's family moved to North Little Rock during his teen years, and he graduated from NLR High School in 1964. He spent the rest of his life in North Little Rock because of the girl next door, Brenda.
Jerry attended Baring Cross Baptist Church in North Little Rock and was baptized there during his teen years. When he and Brenda married, they attended Wes Carmical Memorial Chapel near Cabot. He had a strong Faith in Jesus Christ.

Very sorry for your loss. We will always enjoy the memories of our tenn years with our corvette family and especially Jerry
To my "other" family, I can't tell you all how very much you and Jerry mean to me. He was a wonderful man, always fun to be around, loved his corvette friends, but mostly he loved his Queen, his bride, his sweet Brenda, and the rest of his army of a family. My heart breaks with each of you. I will truly miss my visits to check on him. My prayers, love and hugs go out to all of you. Thank you all for making me feel a part of such an awesome family!!! See you later alligator... ❤
Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you all. We wish we could make it to the services. We love you guys!
May god bless you in your hour of need
Brenda,
Mary and I were so sorry to hear about Jerry.
