A Celebration of Life

Julius Holden

Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise. Luke 23:43 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

Obituary

Mr. Julius Holden was born on October 22, 1977, to the late Robert Holden and Georgetta Rambert. Julius was proceeded in death by his late father, Robert Holden, and his grandmother, Mother Mary Rambert.

He accepted Christ at an early age and has been a member of Greater New Liberty Missionary Baptist Church since his childhood.

On Friday, September 1, 2023, God called his Angel home to be with Him. Julius was a loving and devoted husband, father, and TGAND man. He loved Greater New Liberty and his Pastor, where he remained a faithful member until his death.

Julius loved watching sports, especially the Tennessee Titans. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing spades, shooting pool, playing basketball with the boys, laughing and cracking jokes. His smile and infectious laugh will forever be etched into our memory. But above all, he truly loved his family, especially his boys, Jordan and Major.

He leaves to mourn in his passing: his wife, Jamecia Holden; mother, Georgetta Rambert; four children, Jordan Holden, Major Holden, LaDea Euell, and Madisyn Euell; three sisters, Angela Foster (Cleaven Foster), Madelene Lundy, and Patricia Price; and a niece, Ciera Foster who he referred to as “The Boss.” He also leaves behind two aunts, Jean Fondren (Tommy Fondren) and Patricia Rambert, five uncles, George Rambert, Rory Rambert (Cheri Rambert), Yancey Freeman (Rafielle Freeman), Eric Davis (Jewel Davis), and Derrick Davis (Keisha Davis); and a host of cousins and dear friends.

“A Tribute to my Husband”

My dear husband, there will never be words to express how I miss you. We had such an amazing life together, and there is no me without you. We will always be one. You are the epitome of what the head of household represents. And it is in these times a wife gets to truly represent her husband, to carry out your legacy. This I promise to do, just as you taught me. Babe, I love you more than you’ll ever know. See you later.Your Wife, Jamecia Holden

Missing You

“I’m Free”

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free; I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hands when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I’ve found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void; Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, and a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now; He set me free.

It seems so hard to comprehend at you’re no longer here But all the happy memories Will help to keep you near. You’re thought about with pride, Son With each mention of your name Death cannot change a single thing e love will still remain.

Love, Mom
