Obituary
Reginald Nepaul of Middletown, age 92, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2026. Born in Jamaica to Osmand and Hilda May Nepaul née Williams, he leaves a legacy of hard work, devotion, and love.
A master auto technician, Reggie owned and operated Nepaul’s Garage, a successful business in Savanna la Mar, Jamaica for 27 years with determination and talent. Amid political unrest and increasing violence, in 1978 he and his wife made the courageous decision to move to the United States with their three young children. So, at 44 years old, Reggie started over as an auto technician at Gig Motors in East Hartford (1978-1999). Thereafter, he was the resident expert on restoring and maintaining antique cars at Reynolds Garage and Marine in Lyme (1999-2005).
Reginald was the beloved husband of Beverley Gennevieve Nepaul née Patterson; loving father to four children and their spouses: Sharon Nepaul and Edwin Babadaglian, Michael Nepaul and Michele, Reginald A. Nepaul and Stephanie Richardson, and Ava Nepaul and Jason Siegel. He was the proud grandfather of Joseph Siegel, Ryan and Jordan Nepaul, and Eric and Michael Mallett. He is survived by his sisters Evelyn Santiago, Loraine Nepaul, and Verelyn Webster. In death, Reggie is reunited with his parents, daughter Sharon, and siblings Zachariah, Rudolph, Kenneth, Gerald, Florizel, Iris Pryce, and Edna Grant.
Reggie will be remembered for his genius, stories, and generosity. His memory will live on forever in the hearts of his family and all who knew him. A private burial is planned. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Breakthrough T1D.

Your knowledge as a "Master Mechanic" was one of the greatest gifts you shared with me that I will forever cherish. Those evenings after leaving my office, I would head to your garage, where we would spend hours talking about motor vehicles, laughing, watching you solving mechanical problems, and simply enjoying each other's company. Later, we would go to your home, where Pat would greet us with her warm smile and a delicious dinner. Those moments of fellowship and friendship were also shared with my sister Grace who occasionally visited Pat and the kids.
I vividly remember when you migrated to the United States, your words to me were, "Trev, I'm not worried about your motor vehicle because you know exactly what instructions to give the mechanic." Those words meant so much to me because they reflected the confidence you had in me to manage my own motor vehicle over the years.
To my beloved goddaughter-Ava and siblings Michael and Reggie Jr., I want you all to know how proud your father was of you. He was a remarkable man whose love, strength, generosity, and kindness touched so many lives. His legacy lives on in the family, and I will always be there to encourage, support, and love you.
Even though our hearts ache because he’s no longer with us, we take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
Thank you, my dear friend, for your laughter, friendship, and the countless memories we shared that words cannot fully express.
Reggie, You will always be remembered.

Rest in eternal peace my friend.
Byron Allen





I recall being a passenger in my mother's car when she would visit Reggie's garage in Savanna La Mar.
I attended Manning's School with his brother Florizel(deceased) His Brother in Law Roy Grant taught me mathematics at Manning's, His sister Verelyn was my hairdresser for while after I graduated from Manning's and I got to know his sister Edna(deceased)very well also.
I also knew very well, Reginald's older sibling Zachariah (deceased) Mass Zachy, as he was affectionately known. A very pleasant and Philantropic pillar of the business community in Savanna La Mar.
Reginald lived a long and fulfilling life. May his Soul Rest in Eternal Peace and may God grant his Family and Loved Ones the strength they need in this time of their bereavement.
