Mr. Reuben Bertrand Prevot was born on August 23, 1953 in Pineville, Louisiana to Mr. Bertrand H. Prevot and Mrs. Sara Batiste Prevot, who proceeded him in death.
After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Air Force in 1971 and was discharged honorably from duties in 1975. After serving his country, he pursued further education and received a mechanical engineering degree from Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
After being hired with Boeing Aircrafts, he moved to Wichita, Kansas where he enjoyed an aspiring and very successful career for almost 2 decades. He was one of the best mechanical engineers that Boeing Aircrafts had during his tenure and recently stated that some of the parts that he designed were being used even today. That made him feel very proud and he always had a sparkle in his eyes when he spoke of that part of his career and life.
