He was born on April 29, 1938 son of the late Ollie Lowe and Laura Evelyn Hitchens. Boogie got his first start in the trucking business at Morris Poultry owned by Harold Morris. He bought his first truck and started Hitchens Brothers Construction Company with his brother Oliver in 1966. Presently, he owned Shelby Construction and Trucking Company in Selbyville, DE. His love of stock car racing began with his first 55 Chevrolet race car. Oliver and Boogie started racing in Little Lincoln, Delaware in the 1970's. Over the years Boogie became widely known as the Bandit #80, which was also part of the #680 and #880 racing teams. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife Ollie Ann Hitchens; his in-laws, Olie Daniel and Frances Howey Baker and a brother, Donald M. Hitchens. Boogie is survived by his loving daughter, Lisa Lynn Gray and her husband, Robert Timothy Gray, Jr.; two loving grandchildren, Shelby Lynn and Christopher Jacob Gray; seven brothers, Oliver Hitchens and his wife Grace, Cashar Hitchens and his wife Inge, Wilmer Leroy Hitchens and his wife, Shirley, Billy Hitchens and his wife Grace, Ollie Hitchens, Jr., Jim Hitchens and his wife Nancy and Richard Hitchens and his wife Pam and two sisters, Dorothy Warren and Marie Savage.

Boogie will be remembered as an ornery man who loved a good laugh "wheelin and dealin" to make a good business deal but was also willing to help those in need. He will be forever cherished as a loving father, grandfather, brother and friend. Boogie will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
