Douglas Holley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Trahan Family Funeral Home of Milton on Jan. 21, 2026.
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Douglas E. Holley (age 60) in Pensacola, Florida, on January 15, 2026.

Douglas was a son, husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, and beloved friend. He was known to be the go-to guy for anything with a motor. His passion was cars, dirt bikes, and electric bikes. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, genuine friendship, the love of his family, and his three Pomeranians.

Douglas is survived by his wife of twenty years, Stephanie; his children, Christine (Troy) Franklin, Randy (Stacy) Holley; and stepson, Alan Andrews. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Landen, Brycen, Kaydence, Camren, Parker, Carmen, and Trystyn; parents, Larry and Laney Holley; and siblings, Kenny (Genny) Holley, and Judy Hamm (Richie Akers).

Douglas was preceded in death by his son, Clayton Holley, in 2023.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local animal shelter in memory of Douglas and his love for dogs.

On Friday, January 23, 2026, there will be a visitation starting at 1:30pm with service following at 2:30pm at Trahan Family Funeral Home of Milton.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
