May 20 Community members are sharing an outpouring of love and paying respects to Reggie Wortham, a staple of Sacramento County s Arden Arcade area, who died last week. He was 65.
Wortham, a military veteran born and raised in the Sacramento area, was known for panhandling at the busy intersection of Howe Avenue and Alta Arden Expressway and others nearby for the past two decades.
Wortham died May 13, according to his daughter, Regina Newman. If you are from Sacramento you have seen or know Reggie, Newman wrote in a GoFundMe page, raising money for her father s memorial services. Reggie would talk to anyone and knew no stranger.
