Pete J. Holguin

Pete Holguin was born on August 22, 1961 in Denver, CO and was called home to God on December 30, 2020. He graduated from Denver North High School and was a Saint Leo University Alum. He was most recently employed at XPO Logistics, in Fresno, CA.

Pete was a United States Army Veteran who honorably and faithfully served his country for 20 years. He served in two wars; Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was proudly part of the 49th Military Police Brigade. Throughout his 20 years of service, he was awarded many medals including: two Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals, a National Defense Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and an Iraq Campaign Medal.

Pete’s passion in life was his family, friends, and supporting those who served. He was an extremely generous and giving man that loved life. He had the ability to bring happiness, smiles, and laughter to all he encountered. He will always be remembered for his strong work ethic and infectious laugh and smile.

Pete was a loving devoted husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend. He is survived by his loving wife Lorena “sweetheart”, his five children: Veronica, PJ, Michelle, Chastity, and Shaylene. His brother Rudy, two sisters: Esther and Sylvia, eight grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He was adored by all and will be missed greatly.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that day,

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide.

And although we cannot see you,

You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.
