Obituary

Jimmy Wayne “J.W.” Holt, 80, of Carthage, TX, passed away peacefully in his sleep on September19, 2014 in Dallas, TX. Mr.

Holt was born in Henderson, TX on April 16, 1934. He moved to Carthage in 1946, at the age of 12. Having made Carthage his home for the next 67 years, he was proud to be a Panola Countian.  Mr. Holt was an avid outdoorsman, fisherman, and hunter. He was extremely talented with his hands, particularly with construction projects. He possessed a wry, dry sense of humor. Although, timid and shy by nature, he would talk your ear off when discussing world political events. He was a life-long Republican and member of the NRA. He was an avid weather watcher.  J.W. graduated from Carthage High School in 1953. He then had a long career working for his father, O.L. Holt, in his Construction Company. He was also employed by United Gas Pipeline Company for many years. Mr. Holt was a proud member of Southside Baptist Church in Carthage.

He was preceded in death by his father, O.L. Holt; his mother, Willie Mae Holt; his sister, Fay Fowler, and his wife, Linda Kay Holt. He is survived by his son, Kip Holt of Dallas, TX; his brother & sister-in-law, Onie Holt, Jr & Mary Nell Holt of Gladewater, TX; brother-in-law, Andy Fowler, of Crockett, TX; and numerous nephews & a beloved niece.

A Memorial Service in Celebration of Mr. Holt’s Life will be held at Southside Baptist Church on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at 1:00 P.M., with Rev Kirby Hill officiating. A Private Ceremony to Sprinkle his ashes will be held immediately after. The Family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers, words of support, encouragement and comfort during Mr. Holt’s long illness.

    I really miss Bro. Jimmy. I recently moved out of state and was unable to attend his service. Bro. Jimmy was my training union teacher when I was in high school. He and his wife were very involved with the youth at Southside Baptist Church for many years. I have so many fond memories of him. I loved to laugh and joke with him. He would always take the time to talk to me throughout the years. He was a hard worker who helped to build our present church building, and he went on a few mission trips where he used his construction talents in service to the Lord. Bro. Jimmy was a fine man, and I was blessed to know him for many years as a teacher, Christian brother, and friend. Kip, please accept my sincerest sympathies and know that your father was loved by me.

    I’m so sorry for your loss, Kip. Even though it’s been years since we all lived on Halsey street, I still think of you when I come down the street and it will always be the “Holt’s” house. God Bless you.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
