I didn't know Hollis for very long, really only in the last two years of his life, but if we had not crossed paths I may not be alive today, or at the very least sober. He found and secured a treatment center for me while I was in the midst of my own struggles with addiction. While there we spoke over the phone, and although I struggled a lot that year, he was always patient, willing to listen, and understanding. I am doing well today and the day we learned of his passing was difficult to say the least. I never met or spoke to his family, but I contribute this for them and others to know that his life was invaluable to the recovery community. You will be missed but never forgotten.

So saddened to hear about Hollis. He was a special young man, and we will cherish the memories of him while he was at Charlotte Latin. I was his Spanish 2 teacher. Sending love to your family and prayers for comfort.

I can't find the words to express just how sorry I am for not only your entire family but for anyone who had the privelage of being in the friendly, kind and joyous presence of Hollis. Hollis impacted my life in a tremendously positive way. No matter how long it had been since we had last spoken he always found it the right time to encourage me in everything that I was doing, from sobriety to being a dad, and assure me that the end result and outcome was always positive and beautiful. I hope that you can find some peace in knowing that your son, brother and uncle personally helped me overcome some of my darkest demons at when I was at my absolute worst when no one else wanted anything to do with me. I truly believe God called one of his Angels home.
