Please Help Andrea Colprit

Hi! My name is Laurie Laizure and I’m fundraising for my dear cousin Andrea, who lost her husband. Andrea is just 50 years old and is on disability due to a brain injury. Her husband’s unexpected illness and death has left Andrea in a tough financial bind. Anything you can do to help can ease her worries now as she grieves for her beloved husband.

All funds will go into an account Andrea has and will provide for her healing and safety during this difficult time.

Here are the details from Paul’s obituary. I know she would love for you to attend one of his memorials if at all possible.

Paul J. Holt, Jr., age 50, of Marion, NC formerly of New Hampshire passed away unexpectedly Thursday, February 16, 2023, while on vacation in Port Orange, FL. He was always so strong, until he couldn’t be.

Paul was born February 20, 1972, in Laconia, NH to the late Paul J. Holt, Sr. and Judith Burbank Holt of Ashland, NH. He worked as the Regional Sales Manager for Materials Research Furnaces in Allenstown, NH. He then became the owner/operator of P.J.H. Landscaping in New Hampshire for many years. He enjoyed landscaping and design. Paul’s desire to work was of the utmost importance to him. He had strong work ethic and was blessed to work with wonderful coworkers. In Paul’s free time, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, vintage car shows, and visits with his children and grandchildren. He especially loved being with his wife, Andrea, who was his everything. Together, they enjoyed trips to the ocean and singing in the car. They truly were happy to just be in each other’s company. Paul was a generous and dear man. He will forever be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Those left behind to cherish Paul’s memory are his beloved wife and best friend, Andrea Marie Colprit; nine children, Zackary Holt, Nicholas Holt (Kerriarna Asselin), Sierra Holt (Arie Johnston), Andilee Marie Colprit (William “Max” Nicosia), Danielle Anderson (Jonathan), Justin Huckins (Jennifer Bostaph), Devon Huckins, Matthew Boschi (Kylieh Farley), and Ryannan Baron; ten precious grandchildren; “Poppa’s boys” Giovannie, Nathanial, Nolan, Carter, Kaleb, and Bentley and “Poppa’s Girls” Makayla, Nova-Lee, Avery, and Taylor; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jeff and Brenda Fendley; his beloved K9 companions “Daddy’s boys” Romeo, Hank, Finn, and Monty; and many other friends and family.
