In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Neal (Alick) and Allie (Annie) Rich Holt, his maternal grandparents, Daisy and Cliff Bisch, a brother, Jimmie Holt, a niece, Angie Davis, a stepson, Larry E. Gaut, and his aunt and uncle, Ruthie and Enos Stanley.
He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Lisa Tatum Holt, and their children and grandchildren; his sister, Brenda (Jeff) Pembor, and their son, Travis McClain; his sister, Betsy and her children, Skyler (Justin) Miller and Adam Avenenti; his great-great nephew, Hayden Miller, and many dear friends and loving cousins, as well as, his fur-babies Charlie, Lily, TT and Lil Bit.
