Reginale Hyder Funderburk

Reginale Hyder Funderburk, known to many as "Reggie," was born on January 16, 1947, and grew up in Whitmire, South Carolina.

Reggie loved family, God, and country.

He graduated from Central Wesleyan University and worked as an accountant most of his life. He was a proud veteran of the Army National Guard for many years.

Reggie was inventive and creative, and he loved making things with his hands. He was kind, with a unique laugh and smile, and he maintained many friendships throughout his life.

He enjoyed fishing, gardening, watching football, and spending time outdoors, especially watching birds.

He was deeply proud of his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his daughter, Shana Peedin, and her husband, David Peedin; his son, Reginale "Hyder" Funderburk Jr.; his grandchildren, Lilian Dowis and her husband, Nick Dowis, and Mary Funderburk and her husband, Matthew Watkins; and his great-grandchildren, Jax Dowis, Deanna Dowis, Landon Dowis and Harlow Watkins.

He also cherished a special lady, Mrs. Jean Livingston, who is no longer with us, whom he loved and adored for more than 30 years.

His family finds comfort in trusting that God's love and mercy extend beyond what we can understand.

He will be missed.
