Michael Eugene Hollar

Michael Eugene Hollar, 80, passed away on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at his home surrounded by his family.

Mike attended Elida High School. He served in the U.S. Army from 1965-1968 and in the Army Reserves for an additional 5 years. He had worked at Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp. as a machinist. He was a member of Orioles #173, V.F.W. #1275, Moose Lodge #199, and Ohio AMVETS Post 1. Mike was an avid OSU fan and he liked keeping his lawn perfect.
