Reger Funeral Home & Cremation Services

Reger Funeral Home and Cremation Services The Reger Funeral Home was founded in 1903 in Martins Ferry, Ohio by Henry Reger (1881-1968). Henry’s son, James H.

During his years as a funeral director, he was also the coroner of Belmont Counts, Ohio. After serving the people of Martins Ferry for 10 years he decided to move to Spencer, West Virginia where he practiced as a licensed funeral director. In 1924 the decision was made to come to Huntington, West Virginia where Henry established the Reger Funeral Home on Jefferson Avenue. Two years later, a move w

as made to the current location of Adams Avenue. Reger (1903-1986) became licensed a year after the move to Adams Avenue, in 1927. Thus, James became the second generation of Reger’s to serve the people of Huntington. The two quickly established ties to the community and continued to improve the funeral home. In 1948 the Reger’s decided to build a 250 seat chapel that still stands today, improving the quality of service offered to their families. The third generation of funeral directors was established when George E. Reger (1932-1999) attained his funeral directing license in 1957. George served as the President of the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1986 and was named “Funeral Director of the Year” by the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1995. In 1987 the fourth generation of Reger’s began when Patrick J. Reger became licensed. Patrick followed in his father George’s footsteps by serving as the president of the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1996. Starting in 1999 George Michael Reger became a licensed funeral director and joins his brother Patrick on the staff of the Reger Funeral Home. The Reger’s have always enjoyed serving the community in many different ways. Beginning with Henry and continuing down the line of succession they have donated vehicles to the local emergency services and police department. Their community involvement continued in 1998 when the members of the funeral home dedicated a memorial park for veterans, which is located adjacent to the funeral home. Throughout the intervening years, we have made many improvements to the park, in honor of our community's veterans. The oldest family owned and operated funeral home in the Tri-State area, The Reger family still own and operate the funeral home for over four generations.

Jimmy Lee McCoy

Jimmy Lee McCoy August 27, 1947 – April 15, 2026

Jimmy Lee McCoy, 78, entered into the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on April 15, 2026. Having walked this earth in faithful devotion, he now rests in the eternal peace promised to those who love Him. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” — Matthew 25:23

Born on August 27, 1947, Jimmy lived a life marked by quiet strength, steadfast faith, and deep love for God, family, and country. He honorably served his country as a proud combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, carrying with him a spirit of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering duty.

Above all, Jimmy was a man of faith. A devoted member of Sunshine Freewill Baptist Church in Huntington, West Virginia, he loved the Lord with his whole heart. His life was a testimony—not only in words, but in the way he lived, loved, and served others. He found peace in God’s creation, especially in the still peacefulness of the woods, where he often felt closest to the Creator he so deeply cherished.

Jimmy was a loving and devoted husband to his wife, Gloria J. McCoy, and a proud and caring father to his children: daughter, Dr. Kristen (Tom) McCoy Epperly of Ashland, Kentucky; son, Mark (Jessica) McCoy of Milton, West Virginia; and son, Christopher McCoy of Columbus, Ohio.

He was a cherished grandfather to LCpl Ryan (Constance) Leighty of Jacksonville, North Carolina; James Mason Shively of Ashland, Kentucky; and Braylee McCoy of Milton, West Virginia.

He is also survived by his stepson, Ronald (Anita) Hatfield, and daughters, Lauren and Lilly of Roanoke, Virginia.

Jimmy leaves behind his beloved aunt and uncle, Kay and Jerry Cole; cousins Chet (Diana) Cole and family, and Chris (Sharon Jo) Cole and family.

He is also lovingly remembered by his niece, Angela Carroll and family, his nephew, Aaron Webb and family; along with many cherished hunting companions, his treasured church family, and countless friends whose lives were touched by his kindness and steadfast presence. His faithful and cherished canine companion, Holly, was never far from his side and brought him much comfort and joy.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Bertha Elizabeth “Cricket” Brooks McCoy; his father, James Earl McCoy; and his sister, Teresa Anne McCoy. No longer separated by time or sorrow, Jimmy has now been joyfully reunited with those who went before him—embraced once more in love, made perfect in the presence of the Lord. What was once parted on earth is now restored in eternity, where there is no pain, no parting, and no end.

Though our hearts grieve his absence, we rejoice in the blessed assurance that Jimmy is now whole, healed, and home with his Savior. His life reminds us of the promise found in Christ—that death is not the end, but the beginning of eternal glory for those who believe.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.” — 2 Timothy 4:7–8

Visitation and Funeral Services will be held on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Reger Funeral Home, 1242 Adams Avenue, Huntington, West Virginia 25704.

Private family visitation will be from 12:30 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. Friends and loved ones are welcome from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.

The Funeral Service will begin at 2:00 p.m., with Pastor Joseph “Jody” Fortner officiating.

Following the service, a procession will lead to Maple Hill Cemetery, 471 Docks Creek Cemetery Road, Kenova, West Virginia 25530, for interment.

Graveside military honors will be provided by Ceredo-Kenova American Legion Post #93 Honor Guard, in solemn recognition of Jimmy’s faithful and honorable service to his country.

The family also extends their heartfelt gratitude for the presence and tribute of the Patriot Guard Riders, whose participation honors both faith and freedom with dignity and respect.
