Dempsey was preceded in death by both his parents Bob Dean Holt and Mary Margaret Holt and also his brother Erwin Lee Holt.

Dempsey is survived by his wife Anne, his daughter Susan (Jeston) Lotts, his son Steven (Jennifer) Holt, his brother Bobby (Darci) Holt, his brother Anthony (Susan) Holt, his sister Tina Holt, his grandchildren Taylor, Aubrey, Avery, Payton, Tucker, Dempsey II, Charlie, Cash and his nieces Tedri and Jessica and nephews Rick and Jarrod.

Dempsey was a historian. He was a problem solver. He was the "go to" guy to get the job done. Dempsey loved wood working, all sports especially the Dodgers and the Cowboys and most of all his family. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.
