Jason "JB" Paul Bourque, a resident of Gonzales, Louisiana, passed away at the age of 57 on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge. Born on September 29, 1967, in Baton Rouge, JB was known for his humor, kindness, and deep love for his family and friends. A graduate of East Ascension High School and Southeastern Louisiana University, JB dedicated 30 years of service to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office. He worked as a dispatcher for over 23 years and in the business office for about 7 years, holding the rank of sergeant. His dedication to his work and community left a lasting impact on all who knew him. JB loved traveling—especially to Disney—sharing jokes, enjoying good food, and spending time with his loved ones. He was a big LSU fan and a man of faith, known for bringing laughter and warmth wherever he went. He is survived by his two beloved children, Emily Marie Bourque and Connor Joseph Bourque; three brothers, Anthony Blake Bourque (Dona), Alvin Bradley Bourque (Sharon), and Lance Michael Bourque (Wendy); and numerous extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Kermit Anthony “Hart” Bourque and Althea Katherine “Pye” Petite Bourque; his grandparents; and several aunts and uncles. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, from 9:00 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM, at St. Mark Catholic Church in Gonzales. A committal service will follow at Hope Haven Garden of Memory on Highway 30. Pallbearers will be Brad Bourque, Matt Naylor, Dean Millet, Richard Boe, Drew Smith, and James Nickens. Honorary pallbearers will be Connor Bourque, Chris Ancar, and Reid Sheets. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor JB’s memory by sharing a story, a laugh, or simply enjoying a meal with those you love.
