William Holman Obituary
William Findley "Bill" Holman, Sr, 79, passed away Tuesday, January 20th. Visitation will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, January 23, 2026 at Wright Ferguson Funeral Home in Clinton, Mississippi with the service at 11:00 a.m. A graveside service will follow at Raymond Cemetery.
Bill was born on July 29, 1946, in Vicksburg, Mississippi to the late Ralph Holman, Sr. and Yvonne Findley Holman. He loved life, motorcycles, chocolate, bonsai trees, football, fishing, family, and friends. He loved hard and deeply and always had room for more. He was always ready with a goofy joke and a crushing hug. A particular dresser, he wore black Levi's exclusively, black pocket tees, and black boots.
He spent the past several years in his backyard, happily tending to his small forest of bonsai trees. It was his passion and his joy. He would rather have been there than just about anywhere else.
He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Patricia Ann Holman, and brother, Ralph Holman, Jr.
Mr. Holman is survived by daughter, Jennifer Gunter (Brad), and sister, Susan Davis (Tommy), five nieces and nephews, and two grandchildren.

Susan so sorry to read about Bill passing. I haven´t seen him since I graduated from high school and that was in 1965,he was always willing to go with me to the junior and senior proms. Sorry we never did connect after that. My prayers are with you and your family. Love you.
