Jerry Andrew Bourgeois, Jr. entered into eternal rest on November 9, 2026. Beloved son of Lynda Barrilleaux Bourgeois and Jerry Bourgeois, Sr. Husband of Aimee Martinez Bourgeois. Father of Brennan B. Richards (Raleigh IV), Mackenzie Bourgeois (Nicholas Cenac), and Beaux Bourgeois. Grandfather of Raleigh Richards, V. Brother of Leslie Baehr (Lloyd). Uncle of Jared Baehr (Shaylee) and Colin Baehr; great-uncle to Oaklee Baehr. He was a 59 year old native of Marrero, LA and resident of Harvey, LA. Jerry was a graduate of Visitation of Our Lady, Archbishop Shaw High School 1985, and USL Lafayette where he played baseball. Given all his achievements and dedication to the sport he went on to play professional baseball for the Atlanta Braves. He had a longtime career in IT with many certifications. He advanced to the IT Administrator with the 24th Judicial District Court and was there for over 20 years. Jerry was blessed with amazing friends to share memories with. He always found the positives and had the most contagious laugh. He put his heart and soul into anything he did and conquered anything he put his mind to. In his spare time he was an outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, boiling seafood, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. He was the light of the party and always had the best dance moves. He was so loved and will be greatly missed.
