BOTHAM JEAN

1992 - 2018

Botham Jean, also known as “Bo,” to friends and colleagues, was a 26-year-old accountant for Price Waterhouse Cooper living in Dallas, Texas. He was a native of Saint Lucia, an eastern Caribbean island, and a graduate of Harding University, a private Christian school in Searcy, Arkansas.

 

Bo was a deeply faithful person, who was active in his church and was passionate about singing and service. While attending Harding University, he would return to Saint Lucia with classmates each year to show them around his birthplace and give back to the community, including volunteer projects with orphanages for at-risk youth.

​

Bo was killed in 2018 in his own apartment by an off-duty police officer who had entered his home by mistake.
