Funeral services for Kenneth Boothe, 59, of Harrisonburg, LA will be held Thursday, September 29, 2016, at New Ouachita Baptist Church in Enterprise, LA, at 10:00 a.m. Visitation will be Wednesday September 28, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the church. Interment will follow at the Joe Boothe Cemetery, under the direction of Young’s Funeral Home-Jonesville. Kenneth was a beloved husband, father, and friend. He ran to meet Jesus on the evening of September 26, 2016. He was loved and respected by many. Kenneth was blessed to be retired at an early age, from the Army Corps of Engineers which allowed him to enjoy his family and the outdoors more fully the last few years. He was a sportsman and commercial fisherman at heart. Kenneth was always ready to tell you about his time spent on Rawson Creek and at the Boothe Camp in the hills. Kenneth was born in Jonesville, LA, on November 13, 1956. He was preceded in death by his father, Otis “Tucker” Clayton Boothe, and his mother, Marilyn Tolbert Boothe Nobles, as well as father-in-law, Luther Ray Lewis. Kenneth’s legacy will live on through his cherished wife of 41 years, Connie Marie Boothe ; three children, Ethan Kenneth Boothe of Dallas, TX, Elijah Kencade Boothe and wife Chandice Boothe of Harrisonburg and Kate Marie Boothe of Harrisonburg; one very special granddaughter Aubrey Rose Boothe; sister Sheila Dean Boothe of Harrisonburg; brother Clayton Dale Boothe and wife Sharla of Alexandria, LA; brother Colin Otis Boothe and wife Kathy of Harrisonburg; brother Michael Rory Boothe and wife Sharon of Harrisonburg; along with a host of nieces and nephews. Kenneth is also survived by his best friend, hunting and fishing buddy Curtis Dale Roark and wife Deniece of Enterprise and special family members Max and Rita Andrews. There are also many Dixie Youth players that will remember what he taught them on the ball field. Kenneth was a family man, and if you spent enough time around him, he would love to express his pride in his children. He was quick to let you know that Ethan is a physician in Dallas, Elijah is a Nurse Practitioner, and Kate Marie is a Spanish Teacher. Kenneth would always say “always remember where you came from and why you go to church.” He was a man of Character, integrity, and of God. We find comfort in the words of sweet little Aubrey Rose “Jesus is taking care of Paw Paw”. Pallbearers will be: nephews Jarrod Tolar, Alex Boothe, Rory Boothe, Noah Ainsworth, and close friends Ernie Reeves and Justin Holloway. Honorary Pallbearers will be: The Deacons of New Ouachita Baptist Church, John Ed Bartmess, Alden Creel, Jerry Eubanks, Mike “Mickey” McGuffee, Curtis Roark, Nathan Roark, Frank Sheppard, Stan Stanford, Brian Wade and close family members Max Andrews and Derek Drane
