Holden, a life-long resident of Church Point, LA, graduated from Church Point High School in 2007 and continued his passionate support of Church Point Bears Football until the time of his passing. He also loved Star Wars, gaming, and wrestling, but most of all, he loved serving at Point Church, where he ran lights and media. He loved spending time with his wife and kids, and was excited about his upcoming first grandbaby, who would have called him "Paw".

Holden had been a reserve officer with the Church Point Police Department since 2018, where he served alongside his son, Hunter. In 2021, he was awarded Reserve Officer of the Year for his commitment and dedication to the department and local community.
