James Henry Holt

Born early Christmas morning 16 years ago, Jim was a loving, brave, special child from God.On February 21, 2013, Jim went home to our Father, but he has left us with a legacy of compassion and unconditional love from his lifetime on earth. We are forever grateful for the wonderful staff at both the Kindering Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital; all of his amazing doctors and caregivers; the beautiful children and staff of the Mercer Island School District; his church family at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Renton; and everyone else who knew Jim, who had been touched by him, and who made his life richer.His family will one day be blessedly reunited with him in heaven, including his mother, Kathy, step-mother Pattie, father Steve, brother Thomas, step-brother Selby, step-sister Kat and her husband Dan, Grandmother Dorothy, and his many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. A celebration of Jim’s life was held at the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church on February 26, 2013. We are grateful for gifts in Jim’s name to the Mercer Island Schools Foundation.
