WATERVILLE – Jan. 22, 2022, was a day that changed our life, with shocking news that our little brother had passed away unexpectedly from an accident at his home in Waterville.

On Feb. 15,1981, Reginald Albert Ferran was born in Waterville at Seton Hospital to Reggie and Judy Ferran. He was then brought home to meet his two big sisters, Danette and Jaimie, where he developed the nick name “Coona” to his family and friends, for the next 40 years.

Being raised in Winslow until the age of eight and then moving to China, Maine, he had attended both Winslow and China Elementary and then graduating from Waterville High School.

Reggie worked at J&S oil gas station as a teenager, to then moving onto being a subcontractor for a small Satellite Company in Winslow. Working endless jobs to find his life career, Uncle Bo Ferran stepped in and hired him to work for Granite Corp. out of Oakland, where he trained to become an HVAC Technician. He was considered a “Mastermind” as an HVAC Technician. We would like to give our sincere gratitude to Uncle Bo for leading Reggie into the industry. It was one of his biggest accomplishments.

In 2008, Reggie became a daddy to his first child; a daughter, Delana Teresa and then in 2010, he had a son, his boy, Layne Albert.

The one thing Coona loved more than his career was being a dad to his babies. He had many plans for both of his children and their future. He was so proud of his accomplishments, buying his first house in 2011. He enjoyed the simple life; gardening in his back yard, camping, hiking and just taking rides, to view the scenery around China Lake.

Our little brother had a purpose in this world, and it was to touch the lives of anyone who met him. Even though, he also had that sarcastic way about him, if he made fun of you and totally insulted you, it was because he truly liked you. A total boundary stepper, but he did it all in good fun, and would laugh at his own jokes, which in turn, you couldn’t help but laugh too, even if you didn’t understand the joke.

Reggie was predeceased by his parents, Reggie and Judy Ferran; his paternal grandparents, Albert and Theresa Ferran; and uncles, Charles Coolbroth, Michael Herring and Jerry Herring.

He is survived by the loves of his life, his two children, Delana and Layne Ferran; his two sisters, Danette Hotham of China, Jaimie Thomas of Augusta; three nieces, Britany Pelletier of Sidney, Hannah Whitaker of Augusta, Alicia Hotham of China, two nephews, Anthony Hotham of Windsor and Kaleb Thomas of Augusta; two great nephews, Levi Hotham and baby Jax Pelletier; and a “stepdad” Craig Taylor.

We want to show our upmost appreciation, love and gratitude to our Aunt Karen Ferran from Waterville, a cousin, Erin Fournier Roberts from Frankfort and his friend, Jana Atwood from Albion. Thank you all for being great support to our brother.

Please join us for the final celebration of the life of Reggie “Coona” Ferran. Feb. 26, 2022, at the Winslow VFW from 2 -6 p.m. The buffet will be set up at 4 p.m., where we will take that time to give anyone who would like to tell stories of their experiences with Reggie, that opportunity. We would love to hear all of the stories you may have.

The cash bar will be open downstairs and can be paid for and then brought up to the event hall, but no outside liquor of any kind is permitted. If you have a favorite band t-shirt, please wear it, as our brother was a Rock/metal enthusiast.
