Eric Holmes Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Peoples Funeral Home - Marianna on Mar. 18, 2026.
ERIC TREMAINE HOLMES, 42, of Greenwood, Florida, entered into eternal rest on March 10, 2026. Eric was born on November 12, 1983, in Marianna, Florida, to Craig Holmes and Gail Holmes.

Eric was a proud graduate of Marianna High School, Class of 2002. Continuing his education, he attended Chipola College, where he studied in the vocational computer program.

A man of faith and service, Eric faithfully served as a media and sound technician at Deliverance Baptist Church. Through the church's Deliverance Outreach Ministry, he helped serve the community by praying for those who came through the church's food distribution events, offering both encouragement and compassion to many in need.

Eric had a joyful spirit and a love for the simple things that brought him happiness. He thoroughly enjoyed online gaming and especially valued the time he spent playing with his gaming friend, Kyle Schmidt. Among his many passions was a deep love for music.

Eric had a creative heart and found joy in songwriting, often spending many happy hours expressing himself through music and storytelling. Above all else, Eric's life was guided by his love for God. His faith was evident in his words, his actions, and in the kindness and care he showed to others each day.

Treasured memories will forever remain with his parents, Gail and Craig Holmes of Greenwood, Florida; siblings, Jamal Holmes (Sheronda) of Dothan, Alabama, Chelsea Holmes, and Antonio Holmes both of Greenwood, Florida; niece, Ja'Niya Holmes of Greenwood, Florida; nephews, Kai Holmes and Kyrie Holmes, both of Dothan, Alabama; godparents, Walter and Barbara Brewer of Marianna, Florida; godbrother, Tony Brewer of Tallahassee, Florida; godsister, Syreeta Long (Brandon) of Tallahassee, Florida; aunts, Denise Nix (London) of Greenwood, Florida, Barbara Williams of Greenwood, Florida, Janice Holloman (Irvin) of Nashville, Tennessee, Ruby Hill of Tallahassee, Florida, Rosa Mae Spates of Bascom, Florida, and Hazel Woods of Grand Ridge, Florida; special aunt, JoAnn Register of Greenwood, Florida; uncles, Earl Holmes, Elmore Holmes, Alex Dudley (Sandra), all of Grand Ridge, Florida, Earvin Holmes of Chattahoochee, Florida, and Anthony Holmes of Williston, North Dakota; great aunts, Josephine Smith of Sneads, Florida, Catherine Jackson (Joseph) of Sneads, Florida, Martha Boyd of Chattahoochee, Florida, Ammie Williams (Horace) of Marianna, Florida, and Elnora Smith Rashad (Arif) of Dothan, Alabama; great uncle, Benjamin Smith (Luddie); and a host of cousins, other relatives, and friends.

From his own words although I never met him he didnt seem like the sort of person who would let any thing stand in the way of his belief in God.
