Bobby Ray Boyette died December 24, 2020 in the LaSalle General Hospital from COVID-19. He was 70 years old.
Bobby was born March 18, 1950 in Jena, LA to Audrey Lorraine (Tiny) and Robert (Bob) Boyette. He graduated from Block High School in Jonesville and went on to serve in the Air Force. Bobby traveled the world for his work, from his military service in Taiwan to working as international technical engineer for IMCO Services and working with his brother, Roger, in various businesses in Scotland and Sierra Leone, Africa. Bobby met and married his soulmate, Kathy Graham Boyette in Houston, TX. She and her children Shari Desenberg of Santa Paula, CA; Shannon Mullen of Houston, TX, and Robert Graham of Las Vegas, NV were the loves of his life.

Bobby was a gentle, quiet guy with a good sense of humor and a big heart. Everybody loved Bobby. He enjoyed being part of the Men’s Fellowship at Calvary Baptist Church in Vidalia
And, he loved to country dance, to play in bowling leagues, and most of all, to play golf and watch sports. He also loved being with his family and caring for them in any way he could.
