He is survived by daughters Colleen Holbert of Waynesville, N.C., and Stephanie Holbert; granddaughter Kayla Brinson of Marathon; former spouse and lifelong friend Pamela Holbert; extended family Debi Daniels, LuAnn Paul and Ellis Paul, Bill and Michael Daniels, Ben Daniels; parents Jack and Elaine Holbert; and brothers Kirk and Charles Holbert of Utah.
