It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Reggie Hatchett—a beloved father, coach, mentor, and pillar in his community.

Reggie dedicated his life to shaping young men both on and off the court. As a respected high school and travel basketball coach in Connecticut, he poured into countless players, leaving a lasting impact that extends far beyond the game. To know him was to respect him, and to be coached by him was to be changed for the better.

But above all, Reggie was a father.

He leaves behind his two sons, Azir and Benjamin, who were the center of his world. During this incredibly difficult time, we are coming together to support them and ensure they are surrounded by stability, care, and opportunity as they navigate life without their dad.

This fund has been created to:

• Assist with funeral and memorial arrangements

• Support the transportation of Reggie home to Hartford, Connecticut

• Provide ongoing support for Azir and Benjamin

We are asking for your support, whether through a donation, a share, or a prayer.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference for this family.

Thank you for showing up with love, generosity, and community during this time.

— With gratitude

My name is Candace Smith, and I organizd this fundraiser on behalf of my sister Keisha Smith and her sons. Keisha is the longtime partner of Reggie Hatchett and the mother of his children, Azir and Benjamin.

All funds raised through this campaign are intended solely to support Keisha and the boys during this incredibly difficult time. While I am currently managing the fundraiser, I will be transferring 100% of the funds directly to Keisha via wire transfer. This ensures she has immediate access to the support and resources she needs for Reggie's arrangements and support for her and the boys moving forward.

Thank you all for your generosity, love, and support.
