Richard Allen Holmes

Richard Allen Holmes of Sebring, Florida, passed away on April 20, 2025 at the age of 77. He was born on May 31, 1947, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to the late Wesley and Elizabeth Holmes.

A proud veteran, Richard served his country with honor in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He was also a past exalted ruler and member of the Sebring Elks Lodge #1529.
