Michael Ray Holder

Michael Holder died on October 17, 2025.

Born to Lottie Mae and Ace Holder in Montezuma Colorado in 1958, Mike eventually settled in Flora Vista, NM.

Mike raised 3 children in Farmington, NM - Michael, Misty, and Melissa.

He was a husband and hero. A father and friend.

Mike was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 32 years, Eileen Cribbs. Others who went before him were his parents, younger brother, and a son-in-law.

Mike is survived by his 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and one Great grand baby.

He is also survived by his older sister and older brother.

He was the world to those closest to him, and the friendly, kind stranger to those who crossed his path.

To miss him will be an understatement. We love you dad. Say, "Hi" to Mom for us. We thank you both for being the most loving, honest and dedicated parents we could have ever hoped to have had.

If you would like to send condolences or flowers, Mike would ask instead to help a stranger in need in his honor and tell them to pay it forward.
