Born October 17, 1930 – Died April 2, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Don, who went home to be with the Lord on April 2, 2024 at the age of 93. He was born on October 17, 1930, in Silverton, Oregon to Reinerd and Inga Holm. He was always very proud of his Norwegian heritage. He was preceded in death by his three brothers and three sisters.
Don graduated from Willamette University in 1953. He married his wife Norma (Kuper) Holm in 1959 in Salem, Oregon. During his career, he worked in finance, banking and insurance.
His interests included golfing (he installed a putting green in the backyard); he spent many hours maintaining his yard which included shrubs, flowers and manicured lawn. He enjoyed serving at West Hills Community Church and vacationing on the Oregon Coast and in Bend with his family and relatives.
He was a pillar of strength, kindness, and endurance. He experienced serious health challenges throughout his life, yet he persevered, never gave up, and kept his sense of humor.
Don is survived by his wife Norma of 64 years, his three children, Steve, Doug and Kristin, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, whom he cherished and loved. His legacy lives on through the love he shared, the lessons he taught, and the memories etched in our hearts.
Let us remember Don not with sadness, but with gratitude for the time we had together and the many smiles he brought to each and every one that knew him.
