Raymond Francis Holden

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Raymond "Ray" Holden, who departed this life on April 8, 2026. Born on February 12, 1961 in New Haven, Connecticut. Raymond was a beacon of warmth, love, dedication, and hard work throughout his remarkable life.

Ray was a devoted father above all else. His greatest pride and accomplishment was raising he and Kimberly’s extraordinary son, and he poured endless love and dedication into shaping his life. His valuable lessons, infectious laughter, and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

His tireless work ethic, not just professionally but also personally, is a testament to his dedication and commitment to everything he was involved in. A beacon of strength and resilience, Ray lived his life with an unwavering dedication to his family and community that will be cherished and remembered by everyone whose life he touched. Ray is survived by his only son, Thomas Holden, also of Hattieville and sister, Katherine Holden, of Florida. Ray was preceded in death by the love of his life, Kimberly Holden, and younger brother, Paul Holden.

Raymond's life and legacy will be celebrated on April 17, 2026, beginning at 5:00 PM at Forte Reach Ministries, located at 26 Arkansas 213, Hattieville, Arkansas 72063. For those who were fortunate enough to know and love him, this celebration will provide an opportunity to honor and remember a man who was truly an inspiration for all.

While we mourn the loss of Raymond, we take comfort in knowing that his spirit and memory will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of those he left behind. We will forever remember and honor him for the genuine, loving, and extraordinary man that he was.
