David Bruce Holland's Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of David Bruce "Dave" Holland, a cherished husband, father, brother, and uncle, on June 20, 2024. Dave was a man of unwavering faith, boundless love, and dedicated service.
Born on June 1, 1958 in Anaheim, California, Dave lived a life marked by service to his country and community. As a proud Navy veteran, he exemplified courage and patriotism, serving his nation with honor and distinction. Following his military service, Dave continued his commitment to public service as an IT network administrator for the Clay County Sheriff's office, where his expertise and dedication played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of the community.
Dave's greatest love was his family. He is survived by his devoted wife of 32 years, Susan Marie Jakubczak Holland, who was his steadfast partner and best friend. Their love story was one of mutual respect, deep affection, and shared faith. Together, they built a life centered on love, faith, and family values.
He was a proud father to his son, David Dutch Holland, who was the light of his life. Dave's guidance, wisdom, and love shaped Dutch into the remarkable person he is today.
Dave's life was enriched by the bonds he shared with his brother, Brian Holland, and sister-in-law, Tia Holland. The laughter and camaraderie they shared were a testament to the strength of their family ties. He was a loving uncle to his nephews, Jason and Travis Holland, and nieces, Jennifer and Stephanie Holland. His presence in their lives was a source of inspiration and joy.
Dave also held a special place in his heart for his Austrian cousins, Trisha Smith, Louise Powell, and Catherine Daughtry. Despite the miles between them, their bond was unbreakable, and he cherished the memories they made together.
Dave's life was a testament to his faith in Jesus Christ, which was the cornerstone of his existence. His devotion to his faith was evident in every aspect of his life, from his kind and compassionate nature to his unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity.
As we bid farewell to Dave, we take comfort in knowing that his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him. His legacy of service, love, and faith will continue to inspire us all.
