Johnny W. Holcomb

 A time of visitation for Johnny W. Holcomb will be held on Friday, December 19, 2025, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in the Cpt. Wm. Perry Chapel of Haggard Funeral Home. A special prayer by Chaplin Lawrence Thompson will be at 5:30pm. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Haggard Funeral Home in Jefferson, Texas.

Mr. Holcomb was born on March 6, 1943, in Samantha, Alabama into the large family of Thomas Medford and Clara Holcomb and passed away on December 3, 2025, in Jefferson, Texas.

He was the first of the family to move to Texas, with the rest of them following soon after. Mr. Holcomb met Melba Jean Odle while they were both working at Stocktons in Dallas. They were lovingly married for 60 years. They had two children, Lorraine Bice and husband Mark Bice of Jefferson, and John Thomas Holcomb and wife Jeanette of Texarkana.

He has one grandson, Pacen Smith, who was truly the joy of his heart. His greatest happiness was being a “Poppy” to his “Little Man”. Johnny was a simple man; he worked hard and loved his family unendingly. His family will miss him until they meet again in Heaven.
