Regan was a force of joy. Both the second of four sisters, our bond was fast and familial from her early days as an intern at DTV. She was my little sis in the South Bay for many fun, fearless years and I was very lucky to have her as a colleague, teammate and friend. Her appetite for adventure and energy for life meant we always had something fun to do - Galaxy games, rain-soaked concerts, marathon beach days, Shellbacks on weeknights, indoor soccer league, trips abroad. Whatever we did, she committed to it with determination and a light-hearted confidence that it would all work out. I admired that so much.
Regan loved hard and held on tight to her family at home and the family she created. She relished life and I’m sure that she is up there just as mad and devastated as we are that she and her sweet baby Ophelia were taken so early. My heart aches for Regan’s husband, her boys, her sisters and family. She will be missed beyond measure.

My sincere condolences. Losing someone you love is never easy, and it’s even harder when their life feels cut short.
The Bible gives us real comfort at John 11:11, Jesus compares death to a peaceful sleep, and Jehovah promises to wake our loved ones again. Acts 24:15 reminds us of that beautiful hope of the resurrection. May this hope give you comfort and strength as you look forward to seeing your wife and daughter again.

Heartbroken by the news. Regan was so funny and warm at our wedding in 2019, and Regan and Matt were so generous with their time and effort in attending Phil’s memorial in 2022. Please know that you are surrounded by love and support. Sending thoughts and prayers - Ian/Katie/Clara/Turner

I met Regan (and all the Coles) through volunteering at the Bob Hope USO at LAX. She was always so nice and funny and a joy to work with. It was especially fun when her sisters and/or mom (Kathy) were on the same shift—watching the way they teased each other and made each other laugh. When I got laid off from my job, Regan sent me a few job listings at Direct TV and offered to help put me in touch with anyone she could. I was not expecting it and I remember thinking how sweet it was of her to do that. I am blessed to have met the Coles and their lovely Regan, and to still be good friends with Kathy since we all left the USO. I’ve not stopped thinking about any of them since learning of this awful tragedy. My sincere condolences to the Coles and the Grahams and all of Regan’s friends who have suffered such an incalculable loss.

We were blessed to bask in Regan’s sunshine for a few years as our colleague and friend. Regan approached all aspects of life - work, friendship, love, even fun with complete commitment. She inspired everyone she met to do the same, to let nothing stop you from building the life you deserve, no excuses, no hesitation and no regrets. She will be forever missed by everyone that was lucky enough to be in her orbit, even if only for a moment. We will carry these reminders of her passion, boldness, sincerity, and absolute joy for life with us always. Thank you for sharing your beautiful light with us Regs, we will miss you so.

The loss of such a beautiful life breaks our hearts and leaves us shaken beyond belief. Regan was truly a special soul.
Her contagious presence touched us in every way. Her love and zeal for life, adventure, traveling, marriage, parenting , and building relationships proved life changing and will never be forgotten. Death can never diminish such beauty.
I first met Regan, Matt and their beautiful boys at my daughter (Ashley) and son-in-law (Christian Saglie’s) birthday party for their two sons (Michael and Alexander).
I couldn’t help but notice how kind, supportive, and loving this young mother named Regan. She certainly stood out in a very loving way.
Perhaps unknown to her—she had a wonderful and lasting impact on all of us gathered on that festive day. She lives on through each one of us given the incredible experience of knowing her. Blessings dear Regan,
Father Michael Tinnon
