LANCE HOLMAN Obituary
Lance Arthur Holman - A beloved son, older brother, and father was born September 6, 1970, in Hawthorne, California. He died November 1, 2014, in Spokane, WA. Lance was well known for his generosity and big heart. He gave the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it. He was also well known for being the hardest worker in town. Lance loved the outdoors and the Columbia River, or any river for that matter. But he had a special bond with the Columbia, having heard its ancient voice. Lance was passionate about fishing. His fishing pole was close to him at the time of death, as was his rosary.
Before his last days, Lance returned home to his loving Savior, Jesus Christ, made amends with many, and was a regular at the Lady of Lourdes Cathedral in Spokane.
Lance leaves behind his Mother, Camille Holman, his Father, Arthur Holman, his middle sister, Crescence Morris (Brian), his little sister, Lavette Holman, his daughter Joy Holman, and numerous beloved relatives he kept in touch with. Lance is predeceased by his first born son, Tanner Holman (mother: Nicole Holman) - may they ride motorcycles together in Heaven, as long as Lance can fish too.
Special thanks to his sponsor, Bryan, who helped bring him back home to Christ, and special thanks to "Lifesavers," his home group, for giving him a peaceful respite to recover and heal. Also special thanks to Kim, his apartment manager, who cared for him deeply, friends Dena and Megan - and many other folks - Lance was constantly touching lives with his caring spirit.
The Rosary will be held on Monday, November 24, 2014; at 7 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be held Tuesday, November 25, at 1 p.m. at St. Joseph's Church in Kennewick, WA., a reception to follow.

I am trying to find some positive words so as not to bring any negativity to anyone. The thing that I can come up with is that Tanner get s to hug you and be near you , that you get to spend time with your son again... the kids were always so important to you . We had our share of problems.... we basically grew up together... alot of that after our divorce. We finally stood united together at the service for our son and he was so proud. I don't have a shred of doubt... I am so grateful we had made our amends and that forgiveness was a two way street . We managed to help each other through our grief... You were my rock Lance, like no other..I will love you till I no LONGER BREATHE. HUG OUR BOY FOR ME AND SAVE ME A SPOT, TELL TANNY I LL BRING THE ROCKSTARS...just miss you two so much already, love you Nicole Renee Holman

Lance was a very good friend and one of the most fun co-workers you could ever have. Lance kept the atmosphere full of energy and laughing at his many stories. The most joy I ever had was seeing him serve as a Serenity Keeper volunteer at our WNIRCNA convention last spring in Spokane. Lance wore his fluorescent green shirt with pride performing a service as a information helper and crowd organizer for the event. Lance made a decision to change his life help make a difference for others. It really hurts now knowing he is gone but I'm proud to say he was my friend. I know God has fishing holes in heaven and I know Lance and Tanner are reeling lots of fish in.
Going to miss you buddy.
