Paul Holloway, age 78, of Des Arc died peacefully January 12, 2023, surrounded by family. He was born February 17, 1944, in Griffithville, Arkansas to George S. Holloway and Rosie (Brimer) Holloway. Survivors include his two sons, Justin Holloway and Jerrod Holloway, four grandchildren, Dawson Holloway, Anna Holloway, Harleigh Holloway, Rhett Holloway, and one brother, Jim Holloway, Sr. and wife Amy.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 48 years, Ramona Lee (Carlock) Holloway, his parents, and sister Georgette Holloway Stevens. Paul is a lifelong resident of the Griffithville and Des Arc communities.
After graduating Griffithville High School in 1962, he began a career in sales for the International Harvester Corporation. He later married his wife Ramona on July 20, 1973 and settled in Des Arc. He began farming and farmed for over 30 years until his retirement.
Throughout his life, he was a member of the board of directors for Riceland Foods and served as Justice of the Peace for Prairie County. Paul enjoyed spending time outdoors and especially loved hunting and fishing with his son Jerrod and his grandkids. He hosted friends from around the country to enjoy duck and deer hunting, but his greatest love was turkey hunting. Paul was an avid turkey hunter and was on the board of directors for the National Wild Turkey Federation. He traveled around the United States to complete the ‘Grand Slam’ turkey hunting achievement.
Paul also had a love of storytelling and enjoyed sharing his stories with his grandkids and friends. In retirement, Paul built a business making duck calls and loved talking to people that would stop by his workshop.

Paul had his own uniqueness within the Holloway clan in/around Griffithville, Des Arc, and the counties within. He was a “character”, in a good way”mostly”. I am glad to have know Paul as a school mate and friend. I pray for all you immediate family as you make your plans and say goodbye to your father/grandfather/brother. To all you Holloway cousins, of my longtime friendships, I know it must be nice to greet each other at this time, but feel that it is, otherwise, difficult for you, too, as you say, “see you later, Cuz” to Paul. My best to all of you Marcia Cohen Chapman.
