Alan Holub
Alan Lee Holub, 75, of Toledo/Holland, Ohio, passed away peacefully at Brookdale of Bowling Green, Friday, June 19, 2026.
He was born February 18, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois, to George and Marie (Smrt) Holub. He graduated from Proviso West High School in Hillside, IL, where he played football, basketball, baseball, and played the tuba in the marching band. He received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Northern Colorado in 1974. Alan also played a year of college football. After college, Alan spent a year living in Montana and eventually moved to Ohio in 1975.
Alan was charismatic and an excellent conversationalist; and thus, he experienced a successful career in sales and marketing, retiring from the Huntsman Chemical Corp out of Houston, Texas, in 2016. His children remember their dad as spending countless hours tracking the stock market, watching financial programs and meticulously jotting notes in his notebooks. His curiosity, discipline, and enthusiasm for investing were hallmarks of who he is.
Alan enjoyed the Chicago Bears, Michigan Wolverines, and watching the Chicago Bulls win championships in the early 90s. He also had season tickets to the Cleveland Browns games where he enjoyed watching and spending time with his family. Alan also enjoyed traveling with his family and went on many vacations all over the United States from California, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and his last vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Alan also loved Las Vegas and went several times a year to gamble and meet his brother, Dennis, and his wife, Marla. Alan loved good cocktails and was always ready to have a good time, especially at Loma Lindas. Food and going out to dinner with his family was something he enjoyed weekly. We will forever cherish his goofy personality, outgoing spirit, and giving heart. He was truly one of kind.
Those left behind to cherish Alan's memory are his children, Lauren Holub, Lesley (Patrick) Rohrbaugh, Marc (Ashley) Holub; ex-wife, Wendy Holub; and grandchildren whom he was known as "Papa", Brynne Holub-Roth, Ava Rohrbaugh, Arlo Holub, and Brayden Rohrbaugh.
Alan was preceded in death by his parents, George and Marie; and his brother, Dennis Holub.
There will be a Celebration of Life at later date in July that will be posted by family.
Family would like to thank Brookdale of Bowling Green for the last two years and Bridge Hospice for the end-of-life care given to our Dad.
Hufford Family Funeral Home, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500), is honored to serve Alan's family.

With deep sadness and love, we announce the passing of our beloved Mom and DeeDah, Kathy Mae (Keivens) Holder, on June 27, 2026. Kathy lived a life of fierce dedication, laughter, energy, service, and unconditional love for her family and community. She provided a fun loving home for her four children while also modeling a work, love, laugh, serve and play lifestyle. She taught us that there was always enough to feed others and was lovingly referred to as "mama" by many of our friends growing up. Kathy stayed active and enjoyed competition and camaraderie. For many years, she played softball (Players Club/Yours and Ours), power volleyball, racquetball, dart ball, euchre, and pinochle, and brought her lively spirit and enthusiasm to each game. She loved music, dancing, reading, playing board games, and made it a point to call and sing Happy Birthday to her children, grandchildren, siblings, other family members and friends every year. Weekdays from 7-8 p.m. you would find her watching/playing Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.
Kathy's early career included work tending bar and in hair salons while earning her cosmetology license. She also worked for the City of Toledo Natural Resources Department. She was a very proud Toledo business owner, owning and operating Kathy Holder's Hair Connection in the Polish Village for over 40 years. Her love for community was evident through service and active involvement, including introducing her children to volunteer work at T.O.R.C.H., leading beautification efforts at Lagrange Development Corporation, and helping with the annual Polish Festival. Always working to make her community a more welcoming and vibrant place for others.
More than anything, Kathy will be remembered for the unconditional love she shared with her children, grandchildren, siblings, and other family members, and the way she cared for others. Lovingly known to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as "DeeDah", she shared her love of classic movies and music with her "Darlings" who will carry those cherished memories throughout their lives. Her presence, kindness, strength, and the memories she created will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. And she believed God would reunite her with the loved ones she truly missed.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Grace Keivens; father, Wade Keivens; her son, Charles (Chuckie) Holder; and nephew, Keith Keivens Jr. She is survived by her children, Robert (Robbie) Holder, Tammy Holder, and Scott (Scotty) Holder; her grandsons, Gary (Kelly) Loach, Derek Roe, Scott Holder Jr.; great-grandchildren, Grayson and Keyton Loach, and Gracie May Blanton; siblings, Keith (Sandy) Keivens, Karen Gill-Keivens, Danny (Becky) Keivens, Sherry Keivens, Delbert (Mary) Keivens, Linda (Daryl) Henzler; multiple nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and many cousins.
Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we have great pride and take so much comfort in the life she lived and the love and laughter she shared so freely. She will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and lovingly remembered. She promised she would always be there for us somewhere over the rainbow!
