Jackie Anthony "Andy" Holt

**Obituary**

Andy Holt, 60, of Lenoir City, TN, passed away on February 25, 2024. Born on February 24, 1964, in Loudon County, TN, Andy was a Jack-of-all-trades, known for his mechanical skills and creative talents. He loved humor, rock music, and animals, and could be described as street smart and funny.

Andy is survived by his daughters Sara Janidlo (Derek), Heather Holt (Carl), Jessica Holt, and his bonus daughter Rachael Gray (Christopher). He is also survived by 10 grandchildren, 5 granddogs, partner Rose Lambert, his half-brother Geoffrey Holt (Missy) and nephew Dustin Holt (Michelle). Andy was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Janet McMahan (Charles, living), his estranged father, Jackie E. Holt, and cousin Charles Marion (Donna, living).

In his free time, Andy enjoyed collecting, tinkering, and fiddling around to figure out how things worked. He had a natural talent in repairing almost anything. A true Mr. Fix-it and handyman, he could take apart the remote control, and almost put it back together!

A traditional memorial service is not planned; instead, weather permiting, friends, kin, and loved ones are invited to the Lenoir City Cemetery on Saturday, March 8, 2024, to share memories and stories. Time to be determined. Contributions in Andy's memory can be made to your local community outreach program.

Berry Funeral Home in Knoxville, TN, is assisting the family with arrangements. Andy will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live on through the stories and laughter he shared with those around him.
