Mr. David Armand Regnaert, age 84, of Jonesborough, TN passed away February 11, 2026, at the Johnson City Medical Center after an extended illness.

He was born on November 5, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan to the late Armand Raymond and Esther Borgerding Regnaert.

David lived most of his years in Detroit, dedicating 32 years to a career with Kroger. He was a faithful and dependable employee who took great pride in his work. His strong work ethic and commitment to being self-sufficient was something that followed him throughout his life.

After retirement, he embraced a slower pace of life and found great joy in spending time at home. Those years were meaningful to him; a season of rest, reflection, and simple pleasures. He lived the last few years of his life in Jonesborough, TN being close to his daughter, Carrie and her family.

Faith was important to David. He was raised in the Baptist church and carried those teachings with him throughout his early years. Later in life, he redirected his faith to the Worldwide Church of God, a decision he often said completely changed his mind set and deepened his understanding.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Saundra Regnaert; son Benjamin Regnaert; brother Richard Roch Regnaert, and three stepchildren, Rhonda Williams, Ricole Williams, and Terry Williams.

Survivors include his daughter Carrie Michelle Perry and husband Brian; grandchildren Jacob Tyler Perry and Olivia Grace Perry, all of Jonesborough, TN; adopted daughter Julie Bradford of Wayne, MI; brothers Ronald Armand Regnaert and his wife Joann of Homosassa, FL; Douglas Armand Regnaert and his wife Lynette, of Fort Myers, FL; nephews, Grant, Gavin, Todd, Craig, Brian, and Bradley.

A private family celebration will be held at a later date.
