Although I never got a chance to meet Otis I here he was quite a nice and respectful young man full of laughter and joy. My son JeVante was a good friend of his, he is unable to be there but he sends his love to the family, our hearts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones. Were still dealing with a recent loss in our family, I know that the pain is alot to deal with but as long as you know the Lord you will get through this. Know that because you have him in your heart he will always be with you. May the love of family and friends carry you through your time of grief. God Bless....

I met Otis "Lil Boo" Bolden Jr. about 4yrs. ago... The last time I saw him was at the end of 2009 at a Quick Trip and he gave me and my friends many laughs that night. He was a good guy and wonderful father, too young to be gone if you ask me but the Lord makes no mistakes. I can only hope I'm able to meet up with him again in Heaven. He is gone but not forgotten, he is missed but also loved. May he rest in peace and fly free up above in Heaven. A good friend of his is locked away and can't be here to send Otis to our Father above on Saturday but he is there in spirit...Dashea. I pray the family stay strong and let God help you all through this tough time.

My prayers and condolescenes go out to the Bolden family and friends, during this challenging season.

I did know otis but my heart goes out to the family during this tragic time. Know that GOD is by your side. The lord, is my shepherd: I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me bedside the still waters. He restores my soul: He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, thought i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; forare with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surley goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and i will dewll in the house of the lord forever.
