George Holbert Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by The Kennedy Mortuary & Crematory - Laurens on Jan. 28, 2026.
George Dallas Holbert, 84, of Laurens, and husband of the late Nancy Nelson Holbert, passed away on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at Laurens County Memorial Home.

Dallas was born in Clinton, SC on November 16, 1941, to the late Hubert L. and Gertrude Calvert Holbert. He loved music and always had a wonderful time playing his guitar with his brothers and sisters. Dallas could make sounds with his hands to imitate a real train and could also talk to sounds just like Donald Duck. He was always the comedian of the family and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He attended Second Baptist Church in Laurens.

He is the last member of his immediate family and is survived by stepdaughters, step-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his wife and parents, his is preceded in death by siblings, Carzell Holbert, Claude Holbert, Curtis Holbert, Helen Louise Frazier, Norma Jean Hamilton, and Gaynelle Holbert.

A graveside service will be held at 3:00 pm on Wednesday , February 4, 2026, at Forest Lawn Cemetery, conducted by Chaplain Donald Miller. The family will receive friends at the cemetery immediately following the service.

The family would like to thank the Laurens County Memorial Home staff, especially Ms. Angela, and the Heartland Hospice, for their loving care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Laurens County Memorial Home, 3744 Torrington Road, Laurens, SC, 29360, or to a charity of one's choice.
