Bernie Holloway
March 17, 1945 — November 18, 2019
Bernie Holloway, age 74 and a lifetime resident of Kosciusko County, passed away on Monday, November 18, 2019 at 2:02 p.m. in his home near Palestine Lake.
Born Bernard Lee Holloway on March 17, 1945, he was the son of Glen and Minnie (McClone) Holloway. He was one of fourteen children raised in the family home and attended Beaver Dam and Akron schools.
A helpful person who would do nearly anything to help a friend, Bernie was known for his love of family and for his friendliness as a neighbor; he never knew a stranger. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and camping and enjoyed time spent outdoors. He also liked riding motorcycles, travelling, tractors, tractor pulls and visiting the casino, but time spent helping his grandchildren work on racecars was special. It was also time for Bernie’s cantankerous side to come out; he loved practical jokes and had an ornery sense of humor.
Professionally, Bernie was a truck driver with nearly fifty years on the road. He spent 23 years with Mike Gill and 12 years with Lewis Salvage before becoming an owner/operator. He retired in 2015.
On March 21, 1964, Bernie was united in marriage to Linda Carlson. With nearly 56 years of marriage, Linda survives in Palestine. Also surviving are their daughters: Cindy Holloway of Palestine, Anna (Robert) Landrum of Mentone and Jenny (Randy) Bays of Mentone; son, James (Ginger) Holloway of Burket; six grandchildren: Eric Frazier, Dennis (Trish) Frazier, Tyler Landrum, John Mattson V, Gunnar Holloway and Kole Holloway and six great-grandchildren: Kaylee, Donovan, Kayden, Landon, Arieana, and John “JJ” and three sibilings: Barb Rudo of Warsaw, Donnie Holloway of North Webster and Dean (Sylvia) Holloway of Rochester. He was preceded in passing by his parents and ten siblings.
A Life Celebration® is planned with Titus Funeral Home of 2000 E. Sheridan Street, Warsaw where visitation will be held on Saturday, November 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. At 4 o’clock, Steve Neeley, a longtime friend, will officiate Bernie’s funeral service.
Memorial gifts may be directed to the K21 Cancer Care Fund, PO Box 1810 Warsaw, Indiana 46581-1810. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.TitusFuneralHome.com
