 Vaden
A Holley
September 24, 1941 – July 15, 2019
Vaden Austin Holley, 77, of Carrollton, Texas passed away on Monday,
July 15, 2019. Vaden was born in Carrollton on September 25, 1941 to
Gerald and Nola Holley and was the first of three children. Vaden
graduated from Carrollton High school in 1961, he went on to become an
army veteran and retired after nearly 20 years as a correctional
officer. Vaden then went on to retire from Carrollton-Farmers Branch
Independent School District after 12 years. Vaden was a beloved member
of his community and an active member and faithful servant of his
church, Prince Of Peace where he served in the Stephen’s Ministry. Vaden
was a loving husband, father, brother, son and friend. Christ’s love
truly shined through Vaden as he always displayed a happy disposition, a
giving heart, and a listening ear to anyone in need. Vaden loved The
Lord, a nice steak (well-done of course), his recliner, watching
westerns, a good fire, the mountains, playing golf, rooting for all
Texas teams especially the Dallas Cowboys, playing dominoes, swimming,
shooting guns, spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren.
Vaden was a self-less person that never complained, was extremely
patient in any given situation and had compassion for those in need of
help. Vaden was a great man, a Godly man, and his time spent here was
special to all of us. Vaden was survived by his loving wife of 42 years,
Carrie (LeSieur) Holley, his sons Vaden Holley and Andrew Holley, his
daughter Rose Palmer, his son-in-law Brandon Palmer, his grandchildren
Jacob Casillas, Isabella Holley, Austin Holley & Barrett Palmer. His
legacy will live on in their hearts forever. Life will not be the same
without him, but there is comfort in knowing that he lived every day to
it’s fullest and loved with every ounce of his being.
Please send all floral tributes to Prince Of Peace Lutheran Church, 4000
Midway Road, Carrollton, Texas.
