Mr. Donald "Don" Holloway's Obituary
Donald “Don” Holloway, age 91, passed away peacefully March 4, 2026, at Lakeview Hospital surrounded by his family. Don was born and raised in Bogalusa, where he chose to start his own family and raise his children. He was a veteran of the United States Navy, and an electrician by trade. As a wonderful family provider, he dedicated over forty years of his life to the Bogalusa Papermill before eventually retiring. Don was a loving husband and father, but his love for his grandchildren shined bright for the world to see. You could always find him fishing, hunting, or enjoying a motorcycle ride on a beautiful day.
