MR. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS LOUIS
A Homegoing Celebration for Mr. William Augustus Louis of Kingston, Jamaica, who passed away on Friday, April 26, 2019, will be held Saturday, May 11th, 11 a. m. at Revealing Truth Ministries, 5201 N. Armenia Ave., Pastor Bryan Powe, Senior Pastor with Pastor Gregory A. Powe, officiating. The interment will be held in Orange Hill Cemetery.
William Augustus Louis was born on November 19th, 1946 at Victoria Jubilee Lying-In Hospi- tal in Kingston Jamaica, to William Adolphus Louis and Hermione Joyce Louis, nee Willoughby. As a young child, because of his good looks and af- fectionate personality he was called “Teddy” in short for Teddy Bear. Teddy was a friendly person who never met a stranger. He was a loving and thoughtful husband, a caring, compassionate father and fa- ther-in-law, an attentive grand- father, a good listener, advisor and confidante. He was always positive even when the odds were daunting.
In his later years, as he bat- tled many health challenges, Teddy’s indomitable spirit never wavered. His children began to affectionately call him “Tita- nium Man,” for his ability to bounce back from health-re- lated challenges no matter what the prognosis. On Friday April 26, 2019, while at the Tampa General Hospital after a long and arduous battle for his health, Teddy finally decided to rest. He was surrounded by his loving family.
He left to mourn his passing: his loving wife, Carole Jean Louis; daughters, Dawn, Jes- sica, Shauna and Melissa; sons- in-law, Neville, Geoffry and Jamaal; grandchildren, Ebony, Essence, Makayla, Kaley, Cam- ron, Seth-Aaron, Zyah, Jenna, Ethan, Aaron and Xion; great- grandchild, Alyssa; sister, Pene- lope Brown; aunt, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Teddy was loved by many and will be missed by all.
The visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the church. The family and friends are asked to meet at the church on Saturday for the serv- ice.
