Honoring Earl Hollins: Funeral & Memorial Fund

Hello, I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my father-in-law, Earl Hollins, and his family to honor his life and legacy. Earl wasn’t just family to me—he was an incredible man whose love, strength, and character deeply impacted all of us. A man of incredible character and strength, Earl touched the lives of everyone who knew him, and it’s now our turn to come together and support his family during this heartbreaking time.

On December 6, 2024, tragedy struck when Earl Hollins was involved in a devastating incident resulting from an act of senseless violence. The horrific incident caused him to be declared brain dead, and on December 7, the hard decision was made to take him off life support. The suddenness of his passing has left his family and loved ones reeling, grappling not only with their grief but also with the unexpected arrangements of his funeral and honoring his legacy.

Earl Hollins was a man of immense strength and character. A proud Vietnam War disabled veteran, Earl dedicated his life to serving his country and, later, his community. His experiences in Vietnam shaped the resilient, generous, and kindhearted man we all knew and loved. Despite the challenges he faced as a disabled veteran, Earl never wavered in his commitment to those he cared for, always ready with a helping hand or a warm smile.

Earl’s legacy is one of love, sacrifice, and unwavering support for his family and friends. He was a loving father, a loyal friend, and a beacon of hope to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Whether it was through his acts of kindness, his storytelling, or his ability to make anyone feel valued, Earl left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

As his family prepares to say their final goodbyes, we ask for your help. Funeral arrangements can be costly, and Earl’s family could use the support of the community he so dearly loved. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward covering these expenses and providing his family the peace of mind they need during this difficult time.

Please consider contributing and sharing this page so we can give Earl the send-off he truly deserves. Let us come together to honor the life of this extraordinary man, ensuring his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew him.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support.

Disclosure for transparency: All funds raised will be directed to Earl Hollins’ children to assist with funeral expenses and related costs during this difficult time. A designated beneficiary will oversee and ensure the funds are managed responsibly and used as intended.
