William Hal Holt, age 73, took his final wagon train to heaven on October 26, 2022. While on this earth he pastored Community Center Baptist Church in Red Bay, AL in the mid-90’s. He has been currently pastoring Landmark Baptist Church of Dennis, MS since 1999. He retired from Vulcan Materials after twenty-five years of service, to spend time with family and friends, horses and mules. He always put his “God”, his wife, family, friends and his mules first! He loved watching his grandchildren play sports and spending time wagon training with his buddies and family. He was cheerful in all weather, never shirked a task and had splendid behavior and that big ole smile is going to be missed.
