He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilfred and Tessie Hatfield Bourgeois;

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend who will be greatly 
missed. He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. 
He was one of the St. James Wildcats and New Orleans Saints’ biggest fan. He
