Nautica Bouvier

Nautica Nicole Bouvier, aka, Jevon D. Berry, age 34. was born December 12, 1983 in Richmond, IN with a fierce mentality that echoed “I’ll do what I want, when I want, and how I want” and peacefully transitioned with family surrounding her from this life to her divinely promised eternal life and place of peace on Sunday, June 10, 2018 in Columbus, OH.

Nautica was Vibrant, extraordinary, unique, head strong, fashionable, talented, loving, caring, and a blessing are just some of the few salutations genuinely used to describe Nautica. She touched the lives of countless individuals through her strength, love, and appreciation to all those that were fortunate enough to meet her. She achieved a plethora of goals, such as obtaining her legal STNA license, which was geared from the heart fashioned by God for her.

Nautica’s professional career was a personal extension of love and compassion for those who encountered her was immensely impactful, and a true testament and representation, that no matter what the circumstance, trial, tribulation, or storm, a lending hand of help to a place of recovery, was the countless and profound vessel she humbly allowed God to instrumentally use her for. Nautica was a catalyst of hope and triumph for her family, friends, and the community. Her amazing spirit will be missed by all she so strongly and graciously touched.

Pre-destined and purpose driven, God saw fit that in addition to her biological family, Nautica would be blessed to inherit a blended family that became an extension of love and mutual understanding to the impactful uniqueness that bloomed from her soul and exuded through her imputed array of talents. She also leaves to cherish and honor her life, memory and legacy; blended mother Angela Powell (Mother Bouvier), father Horace Powell, children Antwan McNeal, Jada Reynolds, Ebony Jackson, Kelvin Johnson, Shawn Scott, Milan Maurice, Courtney Bouveir, siblings Tyneisha Bouvier, Bianca Debonair, Donshaye Burston, Sunshine Bouvier, and the late Michael Favors, and an astronomical host of loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
