Kenneth "Bo" Holman

Kenneth “Bo” Holman of Indianapolis passed away on Saturday, November 7th, with his wife, Pam, and their dog, Charlie, by his side. He was born October 23, 1963, in Indianapolis, Indiana to the late William and Althea (Jones) Holman.

Kenneth was a hardworking, down to earth man with a big personality. He cared deeply about his family, was passionate about social issues and enjoyed the things he loved to the fullest.

At the center of his life was his deep and unwavering love for his wife, Pam. The two met when she was just 17 and he was 19 while both working at Methodist Hospital/IU Health - where Kenneth went on to work for 44 years. They spent the rest of their lives together, sticking by each other’s side through everything life threw their way.

Everyone who knew Kenneth knew that he lived and breathed football, especially college football. He was a devoted Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan, and Saturdays during college football season were spent watching and cheering on his beloved Fighting Irish.

He was also a movie enthusiast, a huge lover of music, an avid reader, and a total history buff, with a deep knowledge of WWII and the Vietnam Wars. Kenneth was never one to back down from a good political debate and if you got into an argument with him, you quickly learned he rarely, if ever, lost.

His love for his dogs ran deep. One of his favorite places to be was his backyard, relaxing and throwing a bone to his dog Charlie.

And then there was bacon. Kenneth’s obsession with bacon was well known by everyone who knew him. Nobody enjoyed a crisp plate of bacon quite like he did.

Kenneth leaves behind his loving wife, Pam; children Brandi Todd (Jeff) and Kenneth Holman (Amanda); grandchildren Brody, Brooklynn, Lexes, Kenneth Jr, Keenean, and Ariyanna; sisters Karla Stewart and Katrina Holman; numerous nieces and nephews: his beloved dog, Charlie Buckets; and many friends who will miss his humor and his company terribly.

He was preceded in death by his brother Kevin Holman, and his sisters Karen Williams and Kimberly Parr.

Cremation arrangements are being handled by Legacy Cremation & Funeral Services - Indianapolis, and he will be placed in a columbarium niche at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. A casual celebration of life will be held after the holidays.

In lieu of flowers, feel free to donate to a local animal shelter, listen to a great album, watch a good movie, fry up a batch of crispy bacon, or cheer extra hard for the Fighting Irish in his memory.
