August 8, 2023 by Editor

On August 26, 2022 we lost our beautiful son and brother Bryan Adam Holland of Aberdeen, Maryland. He was born in Towson, Maryland on August 20, 1988. He lived his first five years in Westminster, Maryland. In July of 1994 the family moved to Hamilton, Montana where he lived for the next 11 years. He graduated early from Hamilton high school in 2005. He was awarded a national merit scholarship and attended Arizona State University graduating with a degree in organic chemistry. He went on to work in Tooele Utah destroying chemical weapons left over from the world wars. It was a job he thoroughly enjoyed and it eventually took him to the main office in Aberdeen, Maryland.

He was an avid consumer of knowledge, collecting so many books relating to various interests including science, history, fiction, religion, electronics, computers, and cooking. After his death, we donated 40 boxes of books to the Vietnam veterans. 

He was married in 2012 and divorced in 2019. 

When he was 21 and still in college, he was diagnosed with type one diabetes which he controlled fairly well for ten years and then he didn’t or couldn’t, eventually leading to complications and his death.

He had a love for baseball and we spent many an hour online watching Orioles games together. The last time we saw him was on July 4th when we all went to a game at Camden yards.

He is survived by us, his parents Joe and Ellen Holland of Hamilton, Montana, brother Kyle Holland of Helena, Montana, many uncles, aunts, cousins, God parents, church family, friends, students, and teachers.

Donations can be made to JDRF type one diabetes research.

In loving memory Bryan Adam Holland  August 20,1988-August 26, 2022.

    Sounds like the perfect son and a beautiful life until that nasty disease disrupted everything. I don’t wish it on anyone, and I pray we live long enough to see a cure..
