Bobby Stokes, beloved member of Ouachita Christian School community, dies
Bobby Stokes worked at OCS for 33 years. His life tells a story of leadership, faith and community service.
MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Bobby Stokes, a former teacher and headmaster at Ouachita Christian School, died on Feb. 1.
Stokes was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2022. In December of 2025, doctors discovered a brain mass. He was diagnosed with malignant glioblastoma.
Doctors sent Stokes home on hospice the week before Christmas.
Stokes left a lasting legacy of faith, service and impact.
“When you look around this school, there’s just legacy,” says those who know him best. “People think of OCS, they think of Bobby Stokes.”
Over 33 years, Stokes served as an administrator, coach and a Christian role model at OCS. He consistently pushed for facility upgrades for his fellow Eagles.
Those improvements came in the form of new bleachers, a new press box, and a softball stadium named in his honor.
