Wilbert Uriah Reese affectionately called “Bo” was called home on December 19, 2024, at the age of 44. He was born on June 25, 1980, in New Orleans, LA to Jacquelyn Reese and the late Wilbert Jackson. He was a native and lifelong resident of New Orleans, LA.

Bo was educated in the Orleans Public School system and was a proud graduate of L.B. Landry High School class of 1998. He was ranked in the top ten of his graduating class and remained a proud supporter of his alma mater and very active with the L. B. Landry Alumni.

Bo was very ambitious, hardworking and an overachiever. One of his biggest joys was cooking for family and friends. He enjoyed it so much that he opened his own catering service, and he named it “Bo Kn.o.w$ Flava”. Bo was the life of the party, and he had a smile that brightened everybody he encountered. He took on all jobs no matter the size because in his eyes he coined them all as “Small Jobs.”

He was the loving father of five children, Kol Reese, Uriah Reese, Logan Reese, Beaux Reese and Miltranisha Williams and one God Child Tiara Black, his companion Kemai Young and four stepchildren, Derrick Jones, III, Damarion Jones, Da’mani Jones and Derrion Jones.
