Born in Elkin, NC to the late James Monroe and Naomi Wood Holbrook, Shorty was a member of Memorial Presbyterian Church. For 20 years he was Owner/Operator of O’Henry BBQ Restaurant in Greensboro.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by all eight of his siblings.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 28 years, Sharon Irsch Holbrook; daughter, Michelle Holbrook Fair (Kelly); sons, Charles “Seth” Holbrook and Ryan Charles Holbrook (Olivia); two step-daughters; several grandchildren; and other extended family and friends.
