Born August 30, 1947, in Vardaman, he was the son of Lurlene Schmitz Holder and the late Cecil Delane Holder. He graduated from Vardaman High School, and was a member of Poplar Springs Baptist Church. Flop enjoyed hanging out with friends, riding ATV’s and listening to music. He also loved to be in the woods deer hunting, or on the water fishing. Above all, he loved his family, and cherished the time spent with them. Even at 72 years young, he enjoyed living life to the fullest, and he will be missed deeply by all who knew him. Pryor Funeral Home has the honor of serving the Holder family.
