Dakotah "Koda-Bear" Steven Holt

Dakotah Steven “Koda-Bear” Holt (20) was born November 2, 1992 in Spokane, Washington and left us much too soon Thursday, August 29, 2013 while doing the work he loved as a lineman in rural Medicine Lodge, Kansas.

Koda-Bear is a 2011 graduate of Lake Roosevelt High School where he excelled in Football, Basketball, Wrestling and Golf as a player and coach. Following high school, Dakotah completed the course of studies at Northwestern Lineman College in Meridian, Idaho beginning employment with “Track Utilities” in January of this year.

In addition to sports of all kinds, Koda-Bear loved spending time with his brothers in the out-of-doors hunting and especially fishing. The only time Dakotah was ever heard to complain after a fishing trip was on those occasions when he was out-fished!

A member of Grand Coulee’s St. Henrys Catholic Church, Koda-Bear is survived and greatly missed by his loving family – Mother: Stephanie Anderson (John Pachosa); father: Steve Holt (Gena); siblings: Jared Holt, Kyle Holt, Colton Fisher, Scott Abrahamson and Brooklyn Barker, grandparents: Andy & Marie Anderson, Arnie & Carmen Holt and Sue and David Palmer as well as many – many other extended family members.

Cremation has taken place. A recitation of the Rosary will be conducted for Dakotah at Grand Coulee’s St. Henrys Catholic Church at 7:00pm on Friday, September 6, 2013, followed by a 11:00am Memorial Mass on Saturday, September 7, 2013.
