Willie Mack Hollimon

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord and a beautiful spirit has returned home. Whether you called him Smaxie, Pops, Gramps, Uncle Bud, or Willie Mack, he would answer. Willie Mack Hollimon began this life on December 22nd, 1946, conceived by Mack Hollimon and Mable Louise Honeycut Hollimon in McNary, Arizona. He completed Elementary and Junior High School in McNary, AZ. After his family moved to Las Vegas he graduated from Rancho High School in 1965.

After High School, he was drafted into the Army, where he served in Korea and Vietnam. He became a North Las Vegas Police Officer. After completing an apprenticeship program he became a member of the Operating Engineers Local 12 Union. He retired from Reynolds Electrical Engineering Company. He was also a member of the Las Vegas Cruising Association. He was so proud of his 1966 Mustang and 1982 IROC Z that he never let his wife drive either of them! LOL!

Willie Mack married Ervene Izard on July 24th, 1982. She fondly referred to him as her “One in A Million” Love. The two of them joined what is now Greater New Jerusalem Worship Center. They enjoyed 38 loving years of marriage.

Willie was preceded in death by both parents, a great granddaughter, Lyric Trotter, and a stepson Keith Williams.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Ervene, and their blended family of his three children: Vickie (Tody) Hymon, Michael (Krishon) Hollimon, Tonya Hollimon, and her four children, Michael (Cynthia) Izard, Eric Williams, Kenneth (Karen) Williams, and Adell Denise Williams. Four brothers, Robert (Barbara) Hardy, Billy Hollimon, Johnny (Andrea) Hollimon, Sheldon (Cheryl) Hollimon, two sisters, Deborah (Virgil) Richardson, and Joyce Hollimon, seven grandchildren, six great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
