Obituary For Mr. Reginald Jerome Bouie, Sr.

Reginald Jerome Bouie, Sr. received the gift of life on January 31, 1962, to the late John Henry, Sr., and Mary J. Bouie in Rochester, New York.

He transitioned from his earthly home on February 20, 2025, in the HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital in Panama City, Florida.

He embraced a life filled with love, faith and service, leaving a legacy of kindness and devotion. As he yielded to the will of God, he accepted Christ into his life and became a devoted member of Eastside Church of Christ under the leadership of Brother Ray Williams. Reginald, affectionately known as Chop, Red-Diggity, and Uncle Fen, was a 1980 graduate of Rutherford High School. He was a true fan of the New Orleans Saints. He was united in marriage to the late Lessie Helms. This union created many fond memories.

Chop was preceded in death by his parents, John Henry, Sr., and Mary J. Bouie; wife, Lessie Helms Bouie; two brothers, John H. Bouie, Jr., and John Wayne Bouie; one sister, Jacqueline Bouie Bishop; and his grandparents.

To know him was to love him. We will continue on with his memory, his light, and his love.
