Kenneth Earl Holland, 70, of Springfield, WV passed away suddenly, at home, on Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
We Didn't Get To Say Goodbye
We didn't get to say goodbye.
You departed in the twinkling of an eye.
We didn't get to say farewell.
The sadness our hearts feel; no words can tell.
So many things were left unsaid.
So many tears, we will shed.
Without any warning, death came calling
and in a heartbeat you were taken from us…
How cruel is death! How selfish indeed!
To take someone who meant so much to us…
How our hearts ache, how our hearts grieve.
For you are dearly loved and missed indeed.
Heaven bid you "come" our dearly loved one
And in an instant you were gone…
And though we know, no one lives forever.
Still we wish you could have stayed for longer.
Indeed, there will never be a good time to die.
Or an easy way to say "goodbye."
We'll meet again by God's grace – you and I.
But until then, this is our sad goodbye.
We'll meet again in the heavens above.
As we're reunited with the ones we love.
Till then, you're unforgettable to us.
We treasure memories of you and always will.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Ronald Holland. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Nancy V. (Whitacre) Holland, daughter Shelley (Holland) Copeland and husband Joshua, and their son Avery, Kelly Holland and significant other Anthony Calhoun, their children Dalton, Jaqueline, Brady, Kennedi, and Kenleigh, son Jared Holland, son Tyler Holland and his sons Braden and Jaxson, son Darrin Holland and wife Amanda and their children Meredith and Zachary, son Joshua Holland, wife Tabitha and their son Conner. Also surviving are his brother Gary Holland and wife Christine, their daughters Tricia (Holland) Gillum, husband David and Missie (Holland) Plut, husband Matt and their children. Also, nephews Jay, Troy, and Toby Holland.
Ken was born in Cumberland, MD on April 10, 1951 and was the son of Albert Holland, Dolly (Seeders) Holland, and Camilla Holland.
Ken worked many years in maintenance supervisory positions before retirement. Additionally, he delivered papers for the Cumberland Times News. He was known for his no-nonsense approach to life, he had a willingness to share advice or experiences, when needed. His caring spirit was always on display. He was a dedicated son, brother, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, and friend. His family was his greatest joy and his number one priority. There wasn't anything he would not do for them. He would greet you with a soft, kind word and a smile…always with his signature coffee cup in hand. He had an amazing way of making everyone, even a stranger, feel like a lifelong friend. He was a man of great integrity, generosity, and love; and he will be greatly missed by all.
Ken's wish was to be cremated, there will only be a small service for family.
