We are sad to announce that on August 31, 2025, at the age of 88, John W. Hollis Jr. in Eau Claire, Wisconsin passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy John leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though John may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.
He is survived by: his wife Nancy; and his children, Laura Menting (Curt), Andra Hollis (Scott Chapman) and John Hollis (Mary). He is also survived by eight grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
