Hollis attended schools there, where his love for sports and especially wrestling began. In 1986, the family moved to New York and purchased the Bunker Family Farm. Hollis took pride in being raised on a farm and was thankful for the work ethic he received. He was especially a great help in milking the cows whenever his dad needed him. This love for farming remained with him throughout his life. He was a very hard worker and thoroughly loved to garden. Hollis was proud to be an American and was thankful for the opportunity to serve his country in the United States Army in the 1990’s. He loved politics, always keeping up with current issues and ready to debate. Mostly, Hollis was blessed with a huge heart, loved being with people and especially getting to know them. He completely cherished his daughter. She was his joy. He was also eternally grateful for the wonderful mother she has in Melissa Peet and the chance to co-parent with her. He loved spending time with his family and desired to build a personal relationship with each and everyone of them. With his entrepreneurial spirit, he reached the goal of owning his own business. He also graduated with an associate’s degree from Mater Dei College. Hollis positively impacted all of us and will be forever loved and remembered.
