On August 30th, he would have celebrated 46 years of marriage with his high school sweetheart, Nancy. Pop’s pride and joy were his five grandchildren, who he loved very much. Mr. Holton was a faithful deacon and member of Peniel Baptist Church and his Men’s Sunday School Class. He enjoyed working in his workshop. He loved to sing and play his guitar and especially enjoyed traveling to bluegrass festivals. Mr. Holton was a longtime member of IBEW local 446 and UAW local 1977.
He is survived by the love of his life, his “Gal”, Nancy Williams Holton; daughters, Kimberly Holton Mercer and husband Dale, Ginger Holton Myers and husband Keith; grandsons, Jonathan Dale Mercer, Samuel Edward Mercer and David Wayne Myers; his “favorite 10-year-old granddaughter” Olivia Rose Myers and his “favorite 9-year-old granddaughter” Elizabeth Anne Mercer; brothers, J.

He is preceded in death by parents, Merline and J. Y. Holton, brother, Charles Franklin Holton and sister, Barbara Jean Holton.
He fought a long and courageous battle with lung cancer and was an inspiration to everyone he met. The family would like to thank Dr. Ron Hammett, Dr. Scott Barron and all the wonderful nurses and staff who cared for him as well as the faithful friends and family who ministered to us during his illness.
