James Holland Obituary

Visit the Ervina White Beauford Funeral Service, PC - Philadelphia website to view the full obituary.

James Holland, cherished soul whose life journey began on May 27, 1946, took flight to eternity on October 31, 2025. His departure from this earthly realm leaves a profound silence, felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

James was a man of quiet strength and unwavering commitment, whom many admired not just for his gentle spirit, but also for his bravery and dedication during his service in the United States Marine Corps. It was in those formative years that he forged an unbreakable bond with camaraderie and sacrifice, instilling values that would define the essence of his character for years to come.

On November 19, 2025, services will be held at Beloved St. John Evangelistic Church, 4541 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140. The viewing will be from 9:00 am to 11:00 am with military honors following the viewing. The family will celebrate the life of James Holland, embracing the memories shared, the lessons learned, and the love exchanged.

Though James has crossed the threshold into a peaceful eternity, his legacy will live on through the stories that echo in the hearts of those he leaves behind. As we bid farewell, let us remember him as he was: a steadfast friend, a devoted servant, and a beloved soul whose impact will forever resonate in the lives of many.
