Reginald Clay Sr. was a devoted husband, father, grandfather uncle, and brother.

Reggie was born March 10, 1955. Reggie was the eldest child of the late Godfrey Clay Sr. and Lurinda Clay. Reggie entered eternal rest on December 4, 2025. Reggie accepted Christ at an early age. He received his education through Cincinnati Public School System, and graduated from Hughes High School in 1973.

Reggie had several professionals throughout his life until he retired from Hamilton Safe after 20 years.

Growing up as Reggie enjoyed playing Bass Guitar. He always was the center of attention, and as Diamond Regg. Reggie touched everyone in a different way by giving them a different piece of his cloth the person that always joke and make you laugh the person that was loveable, caring, and full of energy the person that lift you up the person that talk plenty of ?, and you wanted to know what story he is going to say next. Reggie also enjoyed going to the Race Track, his cars especially a Cadillac Club.
