Gary Stephen Holman of Houston, Texas passed away on April 14, 2024 at the age of 75. He was born on December 28, 1948 in Houston, Texas to Earl and Peggy Holman. As a young child, his artistic talent and his love for nature were evident and stayed with him throughout his life. Fishing trips to Rockport, TX with his dad were some of his most treasured memories growing up, and he continued the tradition with his own children and grandchildren.
Gary was drafted into the army during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1975. Shortly after arriving home, he worked as a firefighter for the Houston Fire Department. However, art was his passion and he turned it into his full-time life-long career. He felt that God had blessed him with the opportunity to make a living doing what he loved most, and his art has blessed and will continue to be a blessing to many.
Gary is preceded in death by his dad Earl, mother Peggy, brother Andy, and granddaughter Makenzie.
He is survived by his children Stephanie, Tammie, Brandie, and Brandon, his sisters Penny, Holly, and Candy, as well as many grandchildren.
We thank Gary for his service to our country, his gift of art, and for his faithful friendship throughout the years. His talent, humor, and love will be remembered forever.
