KENOSHA (Formerly of Racine) – Michael Bouie, 49, fell asleep in death on Monday, March 16, 2015.  He had battled various health issues over the past eight years.

Harry Michael Bouie was born to Robert E. Bouie Sr. and Roberta (Dixon) Bouie on December 20, 1965 in Osceola, AR.  His maternal and paternal grandparents preceded him in death.

Michael demonstrated his love for Jehovah God by dedicating his life by water baptism on June 18, 2011.  Even though his speech was limited his message was clear.  He never missed an opportunity to share the good news of God's Kingdom and the promise of a paradise earth with everyone he met.  Michael would hand them a Bible tract and ask them to read it to him and then tell them to keep the tract. Michael looked forward to God's promise at Isaiah 33:24 "No resident will say: I am sick."

Michael loved his family, eating, sports, playing dominos and cards. He is especially known for telling jokes.  When Michael is resurrected back to life on a paradise earth, you can be sure that he will tease and joke with many of us and say he is surprised to see us there.

He leaves to cherish his memory his two sons: Michael Bouie, Jr. (Deloris) of Austin, TX; Terrell Bouie of Houston, TX; his father, Robert Bouie Sr. and mother, Roberta Bouie; six sisters and three brothers: Esther Bouie of Memphis, TN; Ethel (Keith) Pope of Portsmouth, VA; Robert Bouie, Jr. of Racine, WI; John (Allison) Bouie of Racine, WI; Kevin Bouie of Kenosha, WI; Pamela (William) Lowrey of Kenosha, WI; Patricia (Robert) Borger of Fort Wayne, IN; Elizabeth (Nathan) Conver of Kenosha, WI; Zendre' (Bryan) Hicks of Racine, WI. He is also survived by three granddaughters and a host of other relatives and friends.

Family and friends are invited to meet at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (1600 North Summerset Drive, across from Roma Lodge) on Saturday, March 28, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. for a memorial service.  There will be time to meet with his family from 3-4 p.m.
