Mr. David Lee Holloway, 83, of Macy, passed away at 6:00 AM, Sunday, February 17 , 2019 in Homerville, Georgia.

On February 3 , 1936,  David was born in Greentown.  He was the treasured son of  Edgar Earl and Monelle Bauer Holloway.  David was a member of the Mississinewa Class of 1955.  When patriotism beckoned, he served with the U.S. Air Force from 1953 - 1957.

In Marion,  on August 20 , 1971 David married the love of his life,  Jacquelyn  "Jackie"  Ann Rogers. They shared over 46 years of life's adventures and enjoyed a beautiful blended family of seven wonderful children.  The family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of two more generations.

David was employed by Fisher Body in Marion until his retirement in 1992.  His memberships include the UAW local,  Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Elk's Lodge # 2120,  and he was past president of the Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity.  Following his retirement and gifted with his hands, he visited Bo's Marine, hired on and was certified  to service and repair  small engines.  In addition he towed pontoons sometimes in tandem back to Bo.

In a house divided,  David loved cheering for the Chicago Cubs while Jackie cheered for the Cincinnati Reds.  He also enjoyed watching western movies with John Wayne, Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Andy Griffith.   An avid golf enthusiast, David's favorite course was the Rochester Elks.

Paramount in his life was his family.  Grandpa David was proud to oversee four generations.  He loved spending time with his family, at the holidays and during special family celebrations.  He enjoyed an annual golf outing with his grandson in southern Georgia. He and Grandma Jackie both enjoyed making memories with their family.  A master woodworker, David spent many hours in his wood shop creating custom  heirloom masterpieces for his family to treasure.
