IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Timothy "Tim"
Gene Holt
February 8, 1959 – October 1, 2021
Timothy Gene "Tim" Holt, age 62 of Kingsbury, passed away on October 1, 2021. Tim was born on February 8, 1959 in Ardmore, Oklahoma to Billie Mae (Booth) and Gene Ibra Holt. He was the 2 nd of 3 children.
Tim graduated from Ardmore high school in 1977 and went on to Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas where he wrestled and played football. He attained his master's degree in Exercise Physiology and pursued his calling of becoming a coach. Tim met Gwen while coaching in Colorado. They were married in 1988, moved to Alice, Tx and went on to have 4 beautiful children, Cortnee 31, Chayson 30, Cayleb 28 and Caysi 26.
Tim was an athletic director and a head football coach for 36 years. He had many achievements including two-time South Texas Coach of the Year, two state championships, 26 seasons in the state playoffs, and eight-time district coach of the year.
