John Joseph Holiski, II, a resident of Anna, Texas, departed from this world on April 30, 2024, at the age of 73. He was born on August 22, 1950, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to John Joseph Holiski and Betty (Duncan) Holiski. He was a graduate of Palmer High School, Colorado Springs.
John met the love of his life when he met Brenda Steed. They were married October 15, 2011 in Fairview, Texas. They have shared a life filled with loved and cherished memories since that day. John was the owner and operator of J & B Specialty Services.
He loved all things outdoors—John especially enjoyed hunting, fishing, and flying planes. Flying was one of his favorite pastimes because it let him see the world from a whole new perspective. In the most recent years, John and Brenda loved spending time with family and friends at his brother's fishing lodge in Canada. He had so many memories of hunting and fishing that brought him great joy. John was a member of Westminster Baptist Church.
