Timothy Holder (12/18/08)



Published: Thursday, December 18, 2008 1:26 PM MST
Funeral service for Timothy Decker Holder, 55, of Gillette will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gillette with Bishop Tony Klamm officiating.

A second funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Sundberg Olpin Mortuary in Orem, Utah, with burial to follow at Orem City Cemetery.

Mr. Holder died Sunday Dec. 14, 2008, at Campbell County Memorial Hospital of natural causes.

He was born May 14, 1953, in Elko, Nev., to Lyal and Shirley (Mortensen) Holder. His family lived in several places before settling in Orem in his pre-teen years. He graduated from Orem High School and attended two years of college at Brigham Young University and taught Sunday school at the LDS church.

Starting in 1972, he served two years on a Latter-day Saints mission to Frankfurt, Germany. Upon returning to Utah, he worked at a bicycle shop in St. George, where he met Dolores Campbell and they were married Feb. 18, 1977. They remained in the Provo and Orem area for 22 years before moving to Colorado and then to Gillette in 2005.

Mr. Holder worked for years in management for various computer companies. After moving to Colorado, he taught seminary, which lead to the interest in seminary/Latter-day Village Web sites. Shortly after moving to Gillette, he started his own Latter Day Village Web sites, which he was operating at the time of his death.

His interests included computers. He would help anybody who needed help with a computer problem and had a lot of equipment and books about computers. If he didn’t have the answer to a problem he found someone who did.

He also enjoyed watching movies, going on long drives and taking lots of scenic pictures. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time and playing with his grandchildren. They had good times in play land at McDonald’s and spending their “Fun Dollars” at the local dollar stores.

Mr. Holder is survived by his wife of 31 years of Gillette; sons, Jonathan Holder of Casper and Lyal Holder of Gillette; daughters, Heidi Allan of Santaquin Utah, Elizabeth and Courtney Holder, both of Laramie and Kristina Hudson of Taylorsville, Utah; 10 grandchildren; his mother; and brothers, Richard and Mike Holder, both of Orem and Wayne Holder of Long Beach, Calif.

He was preceded in death by his father, and one grandson.


A memorial has been established to benefit the Holder family and memorials can be sent to the Walker Funeral Home at 410 Medical Arts Court, Gillette, WY 82716. Condolences can be sent via the Internet at www.walkerfuneralgillette.com.
