Dennis S. Bouknight was the 9th child born to the late Mrs. Mamie L. Bouknight & Rev. Dennis Bouknight, Sr. on February 12, 1970. Dennis was affectionately known as Saulie to all that knew him. Saulie was reared in a God-fearing home by his parents. Saul accepted Jesus Christ at an early age at the Christ Temple Church of God in Christ under the pastorate of his grandfather the late Superintendent D.H. Green. Saul was educated in the Baldwin Public Schools. Upon completion of his high school career, Dennis enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. While in the Marine Corps Saulie was the recipient of multiple medals and honors including the medal of good conduct. Saul served until being discharged in 1993. Saulie was a musician who had the talent for playing the drums. Saulie was faithful to his service to God and enjoyed rendering the gifts he was blessed with. In his later years saulie found employment with various security firms as a security guard. He worked as a guard until his untimely passing. Saulie will be missed as being a kind and humble man. He was known to always have a good joke, but also for his stylish outfits. Dennis was the life of the party, even if there wasn't a literal party, you can rest assured that when Saul came over, he was going to bring the party with him. He will be truly missed.
Saulie is predeceased by his mother Mrs. Mamie L. Bouknight, two sisters, Edna Bouknight-Wrightington & Christine Bouknight. One Brother John Bouknight, Neice, Brittany Lattimore.

Dear Mr. Dennis & Miss Beverly, Aunt Adele, Lucille, Carol, Gerald, Bobby, and Ramona, I am so sorry regarding the passing of Saulie. He had an unforgettable smile and laugh. I will always remember him as a little boy knocking on the front door and full of energy saying, "Miss Thelma! Miss Thelma! Guess what happened this morning? Mom would say, what happened Saulie" as he would go on and on about what occurred in his 5 or 6 year old life. We would then all go read books and play in the back room, then move to playing church. If anyone other than Saulie would say they were going to preach; Saulie would say- "No, I'm going to be the preacher and that's it." There are many memories that I have of Saulie, but those stand out the most in my mind because they make me smile. He will be deeply missed. Know my prayers are with all of you. My deepest condolences.
