Matthew “Matt” Lee Holt, or better known as “Pops” or “Shop Vac”, passed away in an automobile accident on Monday, October 07, 2024, in the Mt. Hope community.
Matt was a simple, but hardworking and dedicated worker who loved his job at Campbell Farms. He loved all types of music, and one would never know what music he would be listening to while he was driving the tractor at work. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone, including giving them shoes from his feet. He loved attending church and had gone to Hackleburg Community Church, the Cowboy Church of Franklin County, and Cedars Church in Russellville. He brought smiles to everyone, had the best sense of humor, loved going to yard sales and auctions. He was a loving father and was so proud of his pride and joy, his daughter, Ashley. Matt really loved his Momma and his life was never the same when she passed away. He leaves his friends and family so many wonderful memories that they will cherish forever and think of him often with a smile.
Matt was preceded in death by his parents, George Holt and Mildred Pauline Priest Thorn; his uncles, Buddy Priest and John Priest; and Beans the Pig.
He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Amanda June Holt; daughter, Ashley Holt (Franklin Pennington), step-children, Emily Morlan, Kodie Morlan, Daniel Morlan; grand-pups, Zeus, Bella, and Buddy; mother of his child, Theresa Holt, brother, Chris Webb; special aunt, Charlie Berryhill; host of other aunts, uncles, and cousins; his other favorite dog, Foxy; special employers, Tamara & Matt Campbell; and a host of friends.
