Charles "Chuck" Holland, 94, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2021, comforted by family members and caring staff members of Avanti Senior Living in Shenandoah, Texas.  He was born July 1, 1927 in Atchison, Kansas to Walter and Opal Holland.  He is preceded in death by his wife of 49 years, Betty Holland, his parents, 2 brothers and 1 sister.
He leaves behind his son, Rod Holland, wife Shirley; and his daughter, Ronni Bain, husband John; grandchildren, Kim Hatfield, Rob Holland, Danni Bain, Ian Bain and Micah Bain; and great-grandchildren Alex Bunkers, Brittney Cotter, Jaden Hatfield, Kasen Hatfield, Avery Holland and Ellie Holland.
Chuck was a proud veteran having served in both the Missouri National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. While in the U.S. Air Force, he spent time stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska and he especially enjoyed telling a story about a night he took a shortcut walk home from guard duty and ended up face-to-face with a moose.  Following his military service, he spent many years in Missouri with Quaker Oats Company. Following his retirement, Cap'n Crunch remained one of his favorite foods.
Chuck, also known affectionately as "Pops", loved his family and sports.  His main pastime was watching major league baseball and cheering on his favorite teams, the Houston Astros and the Kansas City Royals.  He had many fond memories of his several trips to Florida for MLB spring training.
