In August 2026, Quentis Roper shared a heartfelt Facebook post that touched many people.
It marked the end of a grueling five-year custody battle, one that dragged on through the toughest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For Quentis and his family, this wasn’t just a legal win. It was a moment of pure joy, relief, and deep gratitude to God.
Quentis wrote with tears in his eyes:
“After 5 years of a custody battle that we thought would never end—especially in the middle of COVID—we are finally finished, completely done!”
ViaHe thanked God for keeping them in His favor and for allowing their family to stay together through it all.
Finally, they could say goodbye to the Dallas Family Court system for good.
At the center of this story is “Lil Reggie,” the boy Quentis met when he was just four years old. Quentis isn’t Lil Reggie’s biological parent, but their bond is unbreakable.
Quentis shared
“You would not know that I don't birth him because the love runs deep,”
Via FacebookHe calls Lil Reggie his first son, always and forever.
This child has taught him powerful lessons, how to love unconditionally and without bias, how to be patient, and why providing peace and stability for a kid in this crazy world is such a privilege.

The journey wasn't easy.
They faced countless challenges and many deals along the way, but emerging victorious felt like the greatest achievement.
Quentis described it as a flawless victory for his son. He looks forward to watching Lil Reggie grow, build friendships, and eventually graduate.
He humorously noted that Lil Reggie and possibly another child named Rylan are the finest gifts his spouse has ever bestowed upon him.
That evening, the family looked forward to relaxing with football and celebrating divine mercy and grace.
Quentis referenced a profound Bible passage from Ephesians 2:8-9:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Via FacebookHe concluded his post by acknowledging Melody White and Blacc Reggie White.
Seeing them that morning before heading to court reminded Quentis of his long-held advice—just stay the course.
Now, he’s ecstatic they persevered.
This prolonged custody struggle during COVID underscores the resilience of familial connections, spiritual conviction, and determination.
For Quentis, it serves as a testament that love, much like his relationship with Lil Reggie, conquers even the most arduous trials.
It remains an uplifting narrative of resilience, solidarity, and appreciation for life's modest blessings.
