Zelworth Everett Hollie

Born on August 10, 1947, Zee lived a life defined by devotion—to his family, his friends, and the values he held dear. He was a man of strength and generous spirit, known for his kindness, integrity, and enough charisma to brighten any room.

Zelworth was the beloved husband of the late Gwendolyn Olivier Hollie, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and partnership. Together they built a beautiful life filled with cherished memories and enduring family traditions.

He will be forever remembered and deeply missed by his devoted children, Shannyn and Blaine Jones and Jasmyn and Rashaan Chavis, Pop Pop’s hugs will be missed most by his six grandchildren, Blainey Jones, Rashaan Chavis, Sydnei Jones, Zelworth Chavis, Madisyn Jones and Kennedy Chavis who were his greatest pride and joy. To them, he was not only a father, and grandfather, but also a teacher, protector, and friend—offering wisdom, patience, and unconditional love every day of their lives.

Those who knew Zee will remember his warm heart, his dedication to those he loved, and his ability to find joy in life’s simple moments. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the love he shared.

Though his presence is deeply missed, the lessons, laughter, and love he gave so freely will remain with us always.
