Charles Lee Holland

Charles “Chuck” Lee Holland of Spring Branch, Texas passed away unexpectedly on October 4, 2022, surrounded by his loving family, following an unforeseen accident. Chuck was an organ donor and gave the gift of life to many others.

Chuck was born to Charles and Helen Holland in Detroit, Michigan on January 29, 1957. He graduated from Maumee High School in Maumee, Ohio before attending the University of Toledo where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering.Chuck spent his entire career of 40 years at UPS. He began as a part-time clerk and quickly became a manager in Industrial Engineering. His career continued through ten different cities, and he retired as the Vice President of Industrial Engineering. Under his leadership, his team spearheaded innovative technology to save UPS over a billion dollars annually.

Chuck was married to his loving wife Vicki for 21 years. He brought two daughters (Brooke and Tara) to their marriage, and she brought two sons (Damon and Jacque). Chuck and Vicki enjoyed spending time with family and friends, serving their church congregations, and traveling the world, with their favorite destinations being Egypt and South Africa.

After retiring from UPS, Chuck and Vicki built a house on Canyon Lake where they enjoyed weekends with family and friends. He was a car enthusiast and a member of the Texas Corvette Association (TCA). He and Vicki also served the homeless together every Thursday.

Chuck was a baseball fanatic, both as a spectator and a player. After an impressive baseball career through high school, Chuck began playing baseball again in 1997 in the Men's Senior Baseball League in Atlanta. He was an outstanding First Baseman (the best in the league according to his infielders) and a feared hitter, a threat each time he stepped up to the plate. Chuck continued his baseball career through the 2017 season. We know that he will be a starter on the team in Heaven.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Helen, as well as his brother, Richard.
