Maurice Emanuel Jenkins' Obituary
Maurice Jenkins was born on October 20, 1982 to Janice H McCuthen and James Edward Jenkins in Augusta, GA. Maurice received his formal education through the Prince William County Public School System, where he excelled in his studies.
Maurice was employed at US Foods in Manassas, VA, where he served faithfully three years as a forklift Operator. In his leisure, he enjoyed singing and making his co-workers laugh. A wonderful father, brother, uncle and friend, who touched the lives of all that knew him. Loyal, honest, loving, and sincere are some of the ingredients that he was made of. He was committed to his family and loved unconditionally. He always saw the best in people and focused on the positive. Uniquely special, he had a style all his own, his laugh, his infectious smile, his voice will forever be strong. His light will always shine and will always remain in our hearts. Life will never be the same without him, for you are dearly loved. His nickname “Uncle Bo Bo” was the name that his nieces and nephews will remember him by. Independent, faithful and always true may God continue to look over you.
