Kelly Paul Hollier

Kelly Paul Hollier, born January 29, 1977, passed away on November 1, 2026, in the state of Washington. Though his passing leaves a tremendous void in the hearts of those who loved him, his life, memories, and the legacy he leaves behind will forever be cherished.

Kelly lived a life shaped by hard work, adventure, dedication, and a love for the outdoors. He was a man who wore many hats throughout his life, including bull rider, farmer, and proud United States Air Force veteran. From 1990 to 1995, Kelly spent five years riding bulls, embracing the grit, courage, and determination that came with the sport. He later devoted 20 years of service to the United States Air Force before retiring where he held the rank of MSgt.

A hardworking farmer at heart, Kelly spent his days working the land, growing rice, milo, and soybeans, and raising crawfish. Farming was more than a livelihood; it was a way of life that reflected his strong work ethic and appreciation for the land. When he wasn't working, one of his greatest joys was deer hunting and spending time outdoors.

Kelly's life was one of dedication, perseverance, and a love for the things that made him who he was. Whether in the arena, serving his country, working the fields, or enjoying time in the outdoors, he left his own mark on the lives and hearts of those around him.

He is survived by his loving parents, Cynthia Frey Hollier and Harrison Paul Hollier; his sister, Jenny Fontenot, and her husband, Clint; his nieces, Jadie Blair Reed and Marley Jo Guillory; his nephew, Charles “Taylor” Reed; and his great-nieces, Anna Kate, Addie, and Alivia Reed. His family will forever hold close the memories they shared with him and the special place he will always have in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Reginald Lawrence, Sr. and JoAnn Bollich Frey; and his paternal grandparents, Travis and Gladys Hollier.

Though Kelly's journey on this earth has come to an end, the memories of his life and the love he gave will live on through his family and all those whose lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Memorial Mass celebrating Kelly's life will be held at St. Lawrence Catholic Church at a later date.

May he rest in eternal peace.
