John Edward Holden Dec. 27, 1933-Dec. 20, 2008


My grandpa passed away Saturday morning around 4 am. We think he passed away due to a heart attack and fell down the stairs. My grandma found him there and just laid with him for about 3 hours before she called anyone - she said she just wanted to be with him. He was a great man and devoted so much of his time to geneology & family history work. He wrote an amzing book and had it published about 2005 titled "From My Fathers With Love: Family History and Other Miracles." The book is full of stories about his life and family history work that are truly miraculous. He donated all the proceeds to helping families around the world get to the temple. I can only imagine how many happy souls were there to greet him as he passed through the veil, one of them being my brother Paul. What a joyous reunion it must have been. What a great example he was and is to me and my family in our lives. We love you Grandpa! The funeral services will be held on Saturday, December, 27th.

I am so sorry for your loss. That is so sad to loose someone, especially so close to Christmas. I will be thinking of you and your family....
