Henry Soulié

Henry Albert ‘Mike’ Soulié, III, most recently of Shreveport, LA, beloved father of Hunter Cowley Soulié and grandfather of Leilani Soulie lost his battle with cancer at the age of 68 on Monday, June 15, 2020.  Mike was born in New Orleans, LA, on May 7, 1952 to the late Henry A. ‘Hank’ Soulié, Jr. and Marie Marguerite ‘Peggy’ Penton.

Throughout his life Mike’s passion was people; making them smile and feel good came naturally to him. Friends were of great importance to Mike.  He made friends easily and worked hard to keep them. He was a devoted father who was extremely proud of both of his sons and was thrilled when he became a grandfather.  When not working or being a Dad, you could find Mike standing hip deep in a crystal clear river fly fishing. He loved fishing of any kind but he especially loved his time spent on the White River in Arkansas casting a fly and was a proponent of catch and release… unless of course he was hungry!

Mike is survived by his aunt and uncle, Susan and David Yoho; siblings, Renee, Michelle (Robert Lennon), Suzanne, Marc, Christian (Stephanie Mari), Jason, Jessica, and Wyatt Soulié; as well as nephews and nieces, Stone, Robby, Jamyn, Penny, Nell, and Asher.  In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his dearly loved son, Henry A. ‘Chip’ Soulié, IV; maternal grandmother, Antoinette Gertrude Stiles; his sister, Georgette Soulié, and step-mother, Arnette Power Scheeler.

Memorial service will begin at 3:00 pm on Saturday, July 11, 2020 at Riemann Family Funeral Home, 141 Highway 90 Waveland, MS. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Trout Unlimited https://gifts.tu.org or Reel Recovery https://reelrecovery.org/how-to-help/donate
