Holland “Bo” Bohannon, 98, a resident of the Golden Triangle for over forty years passed away peacefully from this life, surrounded by his family, September 13, 2014 at his home in Port Neches.

Holland “Bo” was born June 26, 1916 to William Jackson and Georgia Bohannon in Hopper, Arkansas. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather. He kept the Lord first in his life and was a faithful and longtime member of the Church of Christ.

Holland married Irene on February 4, 1939. They were the love of each other’s lives for sixty-nine years and showed our family what true love is. He moved his family to Beaumont in 1959 and soon after became the owner and operator of North 11th Street Automotive Service. Holland enjoyed camping and fishing at Rayburn with Irene, and gardening.

He is survived by his sister, Ruby Bohannon of Arkansas; daughters, Jean Bohannon of Conroe, Joy Kirkland of Conroe, and Jackie Ward of Port Neches; grandchildren, Cynthia O’Connor; Karen Roblin and her husband, Randy, of Beaumont; Gay O’Connor of Houma, Louisiana; Karol O’Connor of North Little Rock, Arkansas; Lesa Wiedenfeld and her husband, Carl, of Nederland; Tiffany Falcon and her husband, Brandon, of Clear Lake; Chuck Kirkland of Conroe; Nicole Duhon and her husband, Darien, of Orange; and Daniel Ward and his wife, Kristina, of Groves; fifteen great grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren.
