Leroy Holt
January 12, 1932 — April 4, 2019
Leroy "Roy" Holt, 87, the captain of any fishing expedition, ended his long, successful voyage in life on April 4, 2019.
He was a kind, caring, and quiet man who was always ready for an outdoor adventure and "Whatever Mama wants!"
Roy, born Leroy Edmund Holt on January 12, 1932 was the oldest of 5 children to the late Leslie Holt and Mary Fennimore of Mt. Angel, Oregon.
He spent his early years at Mt. Angel Prep School until he embarked on his adventure in the U.S. Navy, serving on the USS Halsey Powell. After that, he was an auto mechanic, truck driver and retired from Boise Cascade Paper Mill in 1992.
Roy spent 61 years of his life married to Marjorie “Marge” Holt. They married on June 15, 1957 at St. Vincent Catholic Church.
Roy is survived by his 3 children, Sherie (Randy) Ball, Mike (Mary) Holt and Sue Holt (Dana Quall) who all reside in Keizer, OR.
6 Grandchildren, Justin (Carrie) Farrell, Jessica (Justin) Wiltse, Matt Quall, Brian (Haley) Holt, Travis Holt and was preceded in death by Christopher Holt.
5 Great-Grandchildren, Grace, Jasmine, Alex, Josslynn and Jayla, all of whom he frequently enjoyed eating McDonald's with!
He loved simple things...Spending time at his peaceful property at the Abiqua and on his fishing boat (Hi-C) in Newport, OR with family and friends was on the top of his to-do list. He enjoyed having coffee and conversation with retired buddies.
In honor of Roy, there will be a funeral mass at St. Edwards Catholic Church on Friday, April 12, 2019. Rosary begins at 10:00 a.m followed by the funeral mass at 10:30 a.m with a luncheon reception following. There will be a burial held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to American Cancer Society, Chris' Crusaders Relay Team. Keizer Funeral Chapel is caring for the family.
