Boobie was a smart, gifted and creative young man who taught himself to sew by hand. His passion for fashion began early-designing matching outfits for himself and his cousin Jaquan, including their winning Michael Jackson contest looks. He always won 1st place for his extraordinary outfits. His talent and eye for detail led him to design clothes for many others, from dance outfits to wedding suits.

He met the love of his life Angela McCoy in Gary, Indiana and they later moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Boobie worked in a clothing store where his style and skill stood out.

He was a true family man, always putting his loved ones first and making sure they were surrounded by love and opportunity. Beyond providing for them, he made it a priority to create unforgettable experiences. Boobie took his kids, grandkids, niece, and nephew on incredible family trips, traveling to 22 different states over the years. These trips weren't just about sightseeing-they were about building bonds, creating memories, and having adventures together that would last a lifetime.

His home was always filled with laughter and warmth, as he hosted countless parties for the kids, from birthdays to holiday gatherings. He went above and beyond to make sure every event was special, making it a point to give them the best of everything.
