William Troy Holden

William Troy Holden, 88, of Russellville passed away Oct. 4, 2021. 

Mr. Holden was lifelong resident of Franklin County and a member of Southside Baptist Church in Russellville. 

He is survived by his son, Randy Holden (Krystal); grandsons, Brantley Holden and Luke Holden; and a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins and beloved friends. He was a loving father, grandfather and friend. He always had a good joke to tell.

Troy gave his soul to Jesus and was saved by grace in his 70s, and his life changed instantly. When Troy was saved … Troy was SAVED!

He was preceded in death by his parents, Wheeler and Lizzie Holden; brothers, Odie Holden (Lellon), Herman Holden (Connie) and Nelson Holden (Madge); and sisters, Lou Ella Massey (Matthew) and Nola Burfield (Albert).

Visitation will be held Oct. 7 at Pinkard Funeral Home in Russellville from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the funeral service following at 1 p.m. in the funeral home chapel. Bro. James McCullar will officiate. 

Interment will be at Franklin Memory Gardens immediately following the funeral service. Family and friends will serve as pallbearers.

Pinkard Funeral Home, Russellville, is assisting the family.
