Dennis was born on March 24, 1946 to Kenneth Martin and Alice Carolyn Byrd
Bouck at Tri-State Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. Dennis attended Claiborn
Elementary school, Midway Junior High, and graduated from Fair Park High
School in 1964. He later graduated from East Texas State University (now Texas
A&M Commerce) with a B.S. in Industry and Technology. He worked for KCS
Railway for 43 years, retiring in 2007. Upon retirement, he began volunteer work
with Volunteers of America at the Lighthouse, the Renesting Project in Bossier,
and the Fuller Center in Shreveport. He particularly enjoyed reading to children at
elementary schools throughout Bossier Parish. He also served in various positions
at Asbury UMC, including Finance Chairman and Mission Director, during which
he led multiple mission trips. Dennis possessed a true servant’s heart.

Dennis loved his family— especially his wife, Katherine Tomlinson Bouck. Their
marriage was one of love and devotion. Dennis enjoyed traveling the world with
her, as well his children and grandchildren. In the summers, you could find them
all on Black Bayou Reservoir, making memories.

Dennis died peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 14 surrounded by his loving
family. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Terry James Bouck
(Brenda Wade Bouck). He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Kathy; son
Gregory Martin Bouck and partner Melissa Kelly Wyss; daughter Amy Bouck
Berry and partner Jeff French; grandson Landon Paul Berry, and granddaughter
Katherine Elizabeth Berry. He is also survived by his brother Martin Wayne
Bouck (Susan Longyear Bouck), and sister Paula Bouck Rosato (Nick Rosato).
Also surviving are nephews Garret Bouck, Ryan Bouck, Jeff Bouck, Kevin
Rosato, and nieces Andrea Bouck LaFave, and Lindsay Rosato Glover.
