LeRoy “Bud” Hollingsworth’s faith was made sight when he met his Savior on Wednesday, October 13, 2021. He was born in Sparta, TN on March 5, 1939 to Mary Donnie and Roy Hollingsworth. He graduated from Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville with a degree in Engineering in 1961, went on to serve in the Army, and then met his beloved wife of fifty-five years, Jayne, to be married in 1966. Bud is survived by his wife, Jayne, his daughters Shirley (Larry) Chandler, Libby Hollingsworth, and grandchildren Jaynie (Jeffrey) Timmons and Jake (Rachel) Chandler.
Bud was known for his incredible selflessness toward everyone around him. He will be remembered and celebrated for his remarkable legacy of humility, generosity, and devotion. He was a faithful member of The Church of the Apostles for over twenty years, quietly supporting missions work locally and around the world. Bud was Executive Vice President of Venture Construction Company for fifty years, and was known as a kind and trustworthy employer dedicated to his work. But his favorite job was taking care of his family, always looking for ways to bless them and leading them to love Christ.
