Robert "Bob" Holman, age 68, passed away peacefully at home on January 9, 2023 with his loved ones by his side.

Bob was born August 28, 1954. He grew up in Barron, WI and graduated from Barron High School. After high school, he pursued his bachelors degree and graduated from UW Eau Claire with a business degree.

He married his wife of 44 years, Barb, and they began their life together on Beaver Dam Lake in Cumberland, WI. He loved spending time with family and friends on the water, swimming and boating. He also had a huge passion being on the golf course with family and friends and teaching everyone the game of golf. These passions continued throughout his life as he and Barb added 2 daughters to the family. The girls' love of the water translated into becoming competitive swimmers and Bob remained involved by volunteering extensively with their swim club and traveling most weekends for swim meets.

During his free time, Bob loved cheering on the Packers, going to concerts, visiting family in sunny Florida and taking summer camping and kayaking trips.

Bob retired to the cabin where he enjoyed being on the golf course as much as possible. He especially enjoyed when family would visit to bring them out for a round of golf.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Jay and Lillian Holman.

He will be greatly missed by his wife, Barb; daughters, Danielle (Eric) Olson and Elizabeth (Joel) Merkens; granddaughter, Mackenzie Olson; brother, Steve (Diane) Martell; parents-in-law, Ron and Dorothy Woodward; along with other family members and friends.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.

Arrangements were entrusted to Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home.
