Harold Bouis Obituary
Harold Ashton Bouis was a special soul who passed peacefully from this world at home on April 5, 2023, with family by his side. He lived with integrity and love, always with high expectations for his friends and family who loved him dearly, and he navigated life with determination. He had a love of nature and worked tirelessly on making his home and the forest land around it rich, verdant, and beautiful, and he continually made accommodations for birds in the landscape. He was a great cook and loved good food.
Born in Shreveport, LA, he lived his first two years in Natchitoches before his family moved to Shreveport. He attended Huntington High School and graduated from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA with a Bachelor's degree in Interior Design. He worked in Houston before moving to Atlanta to continue working in interior design and architecture. He changed careers twice, working in healthcare at St. Joseph's Hospital for several years before going into legal work at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan as a paralegal. He was greatly appreciated and recognized as he finished his career as a senior paralegal in the restaurant business, working for Arby's corporate office and later for Inspire Brands that owns Arby's and other restaurant chains.
He is survived by his husband, Timothy William Cape; his mother, Sarah Place Bouis; brother, Brian Kevin Bouis; sister, Karen Bouis Meadows; and niece, Madison Kaitlyn Meadows. He was preceded in death by his father, Ashton Edward Bouis, Jr. He will always be remembered as the sweet spirit that he is.
A Celebration of Life for Harold will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at the Central UCC Church at 2676 Clairmont Rd., Atlanta, GA.

Hard to believe it has been a year. It is sad to think that you are no longer on earth with us but today I will think you and all our times spent at the Dunwoody home especially in the back yard, how beautiful and serene it was. I just enjoyed walking through it or just sitting and watching the wildlife. You are truly missed but thanks for all the good memories that we will hold dear forever. Sue P.

We lived across the street from Harold in Dunwoody and our kids loved to play in their backyard! We had a special relationship and are so saddened by his passing. Our love and hugs to your family.

Harold was our next door neighbor in Dunwoody for several years. We had many fun times together. He definitely had a green thumb and loved "playing in the dirt." Our condolences go out to Harold´s husband, mother, family and friends. You are in my prayers.

Dear Tim and family,
I became acquainted with Harold only in January through the CSC support group. I can remember one of the first things he talked about: working in his yard and how much joy that brought him. Another time he talked about wanting to travel, so I was happy to see later when I looked at his Facebook page that that was something that he loved to do and was able to do over the last year or so. The other thing I appreciated about Harold was the counsel and tips he so willing shared with our group.
He is greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Tim, and the rest of his family.
