Robert Holden
Robert "Rob" Lewis Holden, born November 6, 1961, passed away Wednesday, July 8, 2020 peacefully at his home in Hudson, NH surrounded by his loved ones, after a courageous 2-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was the son of Robert A. Holden and the late Suzie Scemama Holden and is survived by four children, Jason, Sarah-Fay, Kelly, and Michael and several grandchildren. He was the oldest of 6 children; sisters, Debbie Anne, Debbie Marie, and Lisa; brother, Gary; and late brother, Eddie.
Rob graduated from Nashua High School in 1979 followed by his enlistment in the United States Army, Airborne Infantry Division, 1980 to 1984. Upon his return to civilian life, he graduated from Plymouth State University,1989 to 1993, at the top of his class, Magna Cum Laude, and was the only person to obtain 2 degrees simultaneously in Math & Science. The following 34 years he dedicated himself as a family man, providing the very best life for them. He was loved dearly by his family and by many friends. He was the neighborhood go-to Dad to many while others also knew him as a father figure, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, Son, Brother in Arms, "Best Boss in the World", mentor, and friend.
Rob had a contagious laugh, warm smile, and a kindness in opening his home to all, as his HEART was LARGER than LIFE! He was a man who was willing to share his advice to those who sought him out. He was caring, loving, nurturing, perceptive, intelligent, wise beyond measure, forgiving, supportive, and understanding; a devoted man who NEVER ONCE GAVE UP WHEN HE HAD HIS MIND SET ON SOMETHING! Our times shared with him can never be replaced and will FOREVER be cherished.
"His legacy to his children was not with words or possessions, but the unspoken treasure of his example as a man and a father." – Will Rogers, Jr.
