Frank Eugene Holeman passed away on Saturday, April 8, 2023.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Genevieve Corbett Holeman and Tom Holeman, a brother, Tom "Buddy" Holeman, and two sisters, Genevieve "Baby Gene" Holeman Stanfield and Billie Ellen Holeman Audia.

Frank E. Holeman was born on December 23, 1940, on the Holeman family farm in the Oakville, Tennessee area which is now part of the Memphis Airport. He graduated from Messick High School in 1960 and went on to chase many dreams in his life. As a veteran of the United States Marines, he was a staunch patriot and a member of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans. After beginning formal dance training at six years old, he continued to study dance and drama and performed in many theater productions during high school and throughout his life. Frank eventually became a competitive and professional ballroom dancer and holds three World Titles in Latin and Smooth. He was passionate about dance and theater, and anyone who knew him recognized that he was especially enthusiastic about performing and teaching.

Frank Holeman loved faith and family. He especially adored his grandchildren and loved hearing every detail about what they were doing in their lives and all they aspired to achieve, offering consistent encouragement and support along the way. He never met a stranger and showed the same interest in their lives. He was funny and caring and overflowed with perpetual optimism. He has been greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
