Raymond E.

Bourgeois

Raymond Edward Bourgeois, known to most as "Peacock," passed away on Saturday, February 3, 2024.  He was 74 years old and a lifelong resident of Gramercy.

Raymond served his country as a member of the United States Army in Vietnam and wore that badge of honor proudly, as he would never leave home without his U. S. Army Veteran Hat.  He was a member of the local VFW.  Raymond's family would like to extend their gratitude to all the staff at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Home in Reserve, as well as, Anna and Felicia, caring staff members of Bridgeway Hospice.

Peacock enjoyed fishing, hunting, and playing cards at the bar with his buddies.  In his younger years, he loved to "cut a rug," as he would put it.  He was a member of the St. James Boat Club.

Raymond is survived by his loving wife Marsha and two children Temple Poche (Clark) and Brad (Erin).  He is also survived by his granddaughters, Hillary, Emma, Abby, and Reese and grandson Cole, along with his two brothers Bernard Bourgeois and Bryant Bourgeois.  He is preceded in death by his parents Edward and Cecile Bourgeois, his father and mother-in-law Allen "Cocheese" and Evelyn Deroche, his two granddaughters, Karyn Poche and Shana Rae Bourgeois, and his siblings Katherine Duhon and Raynard Bourgeois.

A visitation in his honor will be held on Friday, February 9, 2024 at Roselynn Funeral Home, 1870 Cabanose Avenue, Lutcher, LA 70071 from 9:00 A.M. – 10:30 A.M. followed by the Funeral Mass at 11:00 A.M. at St. Joseph Church in Paulina.  Burial will immediately follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.
