Reggie Allen Hawkins, lovingly known as “Ace,” was born on October 21, 1970, in Chicago, IL, to the union of Betty Gene and Jerry Hawkins. Reggie was a proud graduate of Jones Commercial High School. Later, he was blessed to graduate from Malcolm X College. He accepted Christ, under the leadership of Superintendent Boaz Landfair, and transitioned to the pastoral leadership of Brandon Landfair, at Unity Sanctuary which became Life Anew. He later became a proud member of Tabernacle of Prayer Ministries under the leadership of Bishop James E. Stevens, Missionary G. Stevens, and Elder J. Terrell Stevens. Reggie met the love of his life, LaTonya T. Parks, and made his best friend of twenty-six years, his wife for 22 years. In their union two beautiful children, Tyler and Kennedy, were raised in a home filled with love and laughter. Reggie has been blessed to always be a provider for his family. Recently, he worked at O’Hare Airport fueling the various aircrafts. Reggie was a respected member of the Major League Riders MC. He was the life of the party. Everyone loved his charisma and positive vibes he brought to every place he entered. He absolutely loved music, even being a DJ on his phone, at every family event.
