[Teche]

Bourque is such a common Family name in the Acadiana parishes in Louisiana.

Bourque is such a common Family name in the Acadiana parishes in Louisiana.

Yes it is, probably a decendant from NS Acadians as like many of the Acadians in South Louisiana.

Making an assumption Teche must be for Bayou Teche

Two men hiking two miles east of Independence Pass Summit discovered the victim's decomposed remains in a ditch alongside the road. The torso was covered by a rockfall. He was missing his left arm. It is possible that his arm was removed by a snowplow as the loss of the left arm was due to postmortem disarticulation

This is not his father. His father is Alfred A bourque, whom passed in 1989.

This is not his father. This is a relative of his. His father is Alfred A. Bourque.

 

[inmyhumbleopinion]

And it appears Alan’s mom passed away in 2019 :
“Lucille's family was what was most important to her in her life. ... Lucille was predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Alfred A. Bourque, in 1989, and their son, Alan R. Bourque.“

I recently submitted a potential match via Namus to this John Doe, who was found with a USMC (Marine Corps) shirt... I don't know for sure that Alan was reporting for marine Corps Duty but the resemblance and circumstances look possible:
1010UMTX

It looks like he was Air Force - but interesting that he was last known to be transferring between Lackland AFB (San Antonio, TX) and Keesler because the John Doe recovery location, Houston TX, is right in the middle.
