Reggie was born on February 22, 1973, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Claranette Henderson (deceased) and Michael Elliott (deceased). He was the second of four siblings.

Reggie, as he was called, gave his life over to God as a young boy. He attended Union Grove Baptist Church. He attended Hillcrest High School. Reggie obtained a trade in carpentry and worked as a painter. He also worked in the Memphis Schools.

Reggie always could put a smile on your face. He was a fighter in every way. No matter what challenges he faced, he never gave up and he trusted GOD to bring him out. He was a “PROTECTOR” of his family and friends!

Reggie was preceded in death by his parents, Michael Elliott (father) and Claranette Henderson (mother), and his brothers, Kevin Henderson and Kalunn Henderson.

Reggie is survived by his older brother, Corey Elliott. He leaves behind two children - his daughter, “his twin”, Shaneka Henderson, and his son, Ian Woods; aunts, Meleara (Hugh) Eulls, Regina Williams, and Teresa Marlowe; two uncles, Darrin (Jocelyn) Henderson and Ricky Henderson; several cousins and friends.
