SHAWN HOLDER
FOREVER 21
July 5, 2001 – July 4, 2023
Brooks, Kentucky
Shawn Holder was a bright light in the lives of everyone who had the privilege to know him. Just one day shy of his 22nd birthday, his life was tragically cut short by a fentanyl overdose, leaving an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family and friends.
Shawn had a natural gift for bringing joy to others, his smile lighting up every room he entered. As a devoted father, he poured his heart into loving his baby boy, Colt. To his nieces, Emmie and Charlie, he was more than an uncle—he was their best friend, a source of laughter and love they will carry with them always.
To his parents, Brian and Glenda, Shawn was their cherished son, and to his sister Erica, he was the little brother who filled her life with unforgettable moments. His loss is felt deeply by everyone who loved him, a testament to the impact he made in his too-short life.
Though his time here was brief, Shawn’s spirit and the joy he brought into the world will forever be remembered. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his memory remains a guiding light, reminding us of the love he shared.
