David Henry Holloman

David Henry Holloman was born on August 6, 1966. to Earl Hightower and Clara Holloman, in Huntsville, Texas. He was known to all that knew and loved him as “Dedeboy”.

Dedeboy,  was that person that helped everyone. He would get up early in the morning, get his bike, wheelbarrow trailer and the lawnmower. He would clean his mother’s yard first. He would rake the leaves up in a pile, pick up the trash in the yard, then take the trash can to the road. Next he would get on his bike, with the wheelbarrow trailer hooked on the back. Then he would be on his way to help others in the community.

Dededboy would make three stops daily, because it was a part of his daily routine.

His first stop was the park. He would stop by the park every day and pick up trash on the ground and put it away. Then he would sit down to take a break. Dedeboy would talk to some of the people that were walking in the park. His second stop would be at some of the community elder’s houses. That was when he would take the time to check and see if any of them needed any help. That could be cutting grass or moving things for them. Then there was his third stop. He would be at the nursing home. He would make this stop at least three times a week and would go to visit relatives and friends. He would spend that time talking and visiting with them.

Dededboy will forever be remembered as a man that would help whenever he could. He would even offer people to sit and share food. One of his greatest qualities was that he was a very helpful person. He was helpful to his community.
