Gideon H. Regier

Gideon H. Regier was born in Aurora, Nebraska on April 17th, 1927. He was the 15th of 16 children born to Abraham and Anna Regier. Gid eventually moved to California with his family in the hopes of finding additional opportunities. In 1951, Gid met Norma Williams through mutual friends. They married later that year and purchased a home in Dinuba, starting a partnership that lasted nearly 70 years. Together, they had two children: a daughter, Mari, and a son, Jarin. After working for a number of local farmers, Gid became a mechanic and worked for many years at Grower’s Supply in Reedley. He and his family attended the Calvary Baptist Church in Dinuba. They later became members of the Dinuba First Baptist Church. In 1972, Gid and Norma accomplished a major goal of theirs in purchasing their own farm. He also opened his own business repairing tractors. He continued farming, with the support of his family, until his final harvest in 2015. He is survived by his wife, Norma Regier; children, Mari Findley and Jarin Regier; grandchildren, Brooke and Scott Findley and Ryan and Kaden Regier; sister, Irene Siering; and many extended family members. While we mourn his loss, we rejoice that his suffering is no more and that he is now with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to be with him once more in heaven. A visitation will be held from 4-7pm on Wednesday, March 3rd at Dopkins Funeral Chapel in Reedley. A graveside service will be held at the Reedley Cemetery on Thursday, March 4th at 10am. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Gid’s name may be made to Palm Village Retirement Community.
