Thomas "Tommy" Bourgeois Jr.

Thomas “Tommy” Bourgeois, Jr.

Tommy peacefully went to his heavenly home on Sunday, July 10th, 2022, surrounded by his loving family at the age of 45.  He was born on September 27, 1976 in Baton Rouge Louisiana.  Most would say that he never met a stranger and would talk with anyone, anywhere, and liked to call himself “a Big Ball of Useless Knowledge,” because he could spew out random facts about any subject at any time.  Tommy’s personality lit up any room he entered and could joke with the best of them, but his specialty was sarcasm.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and admired old cars.  His favorite pastime was being at his kids ballgames, even if he couldn’t be there in person he would always find a way to watch them play.  Tommy was a wonderful husband, great dad, son, brother and friend to all who knew him and is already deeply missed.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 24 years, Desiree Bourgeois; beautiful children, Savanna, Taylor and Wyatt Bourgeois; sisters, Allison Jenkins (Lynn) and Amy Bourgeois; mother, Agnes Bourgeois; mother and father-in-law, Norman and Barbara Wax; grandmother, Shirley Bourgeois; sister-in-laws, Bridget Cox (Matthew) and Donna Giamalva (Frank); brother-in-law, Travis Wax; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding Tommy in death were his father, Thomas Bourgeois Sr.; grandparents, A.A. Bourgeois, Marion and Santa Peco.  

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, July 16th, 2022, at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home in Hammond at 1:00 p.m. with visitation beginning at 10:00 a.m.  Pastor Gary Dennis will officiate the services with burial to follow in Old Zion Hill Baptist Church Cemetery.

Arrangements were entrusted to Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home.
