Reggie Staples

Reggie Staples – loving husband, father, and grandfather – lived a uniquely full and rich life until October 22, 2016.

He was preceded in death by his father, Posey Staples; mother, Madeline Staples; brother, Roy Staples; and sister, Joy Ann Snow.

He is survived by his wife, Kay; daughter, Robin Duncan ( Michael); sons, Patrick Staples ( Karyn) and Andy Staples; brothers, Ron Staples (Jan) and Bruce Staples (Janie); grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.

Reggie was born on January 18, 1941 in Henderson, Kentucky. He sold WearEver cookware door to door before growing into a leading strategic salesman for Kimball International, working in West Baden and Jasper, Indiana, for 48 years. At home, Reggie shared all of the reasons why he wouldn’t get the deal, while at the office positively and successfully leading the charge to close it. He traveled the world through work and with family. He was an avid golfer, spending many weekends at Jasper Municipal Golf and Sultan’s Run Golf courses, most with his golf buddy Ron Lopez. He was at the Final Four when his Louisville Cardinals most recently won the NCAA basketball tournament, and rode the ups and down of his Green Bay Packers over the years.

Reggie was a member of Redemption Christian Church Jasper Campus. We will miss him.

Visitation will be held on November 12th from 8 am until 11 a.m. at Redemption Christian Church in Jasper, ,IN with a celebration service to follow. Senior Minister Darryl Land will officiate.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to Redemption Christian Church in Jasper IN, Compassionate Friends Foundation in Henderson, Ky. or a favorite charity.
