Obituary for John David Register Jr.
John D. Register, Jr., 68, of Mathews, VA, a beloved husband, father, “BeBe”, uncle, and friend passed away unexpectedly at Riverside Regional Medical Center on April 30, 2019. He most valued the time he spent with his family. His grandson Dexter always brightened John’s day and John enriched Dexter’s life with fun, knowledge, and joy. John was a man who took pride in working hard, so he could provide for the people he loved. He retired from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. He enjoyed early mornings, and being outside, especially while working with his friends at Lewis Land Surveying.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Evelyn Register; his special in-laws, Jimmy and Ann Lewis and sister in-law Eileen G. Lewis. Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 41 years Cindy; two sons, David Lewis Register and Michael Elliott Register; daughter Meredith Strickland and her husband Michael; a grandson Dexter; a brother, a sister, as well as numerous extended family and friends.
The family will receive friends at Gwynn’s Island Baptist Church from 3:00 – 4:00 pm, Tuesday, May 7, 2019 with a memorial service to follow at 4:00 pm.
