Neil A. Holderman

Neil Alan Holderman, (Holderdude) 32, of Lapaz, passed away on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. He was born on October 6, 1989 in Bremen, IN to Teresa Martin and Rick Holderman and remained a lifelong resident of the area.

Neil was a motorcycle enthusiast who loved the thrill of going fast and hard, like the way he lived life. He enjoyed tinkering on his Harley, listening to tunes, and spending time outdoors with his best friend and dog, Roc. Neil was a loyal dad, son, brother, uncle, and friend. If you were lucky enough to know him, you struck gold. His charming and wittingly hilarious personality was enough to light up any room he was in. He always said "I'm the funniest person I've ever met." His infectious smile and unique laugh will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Survivors include, but not limited to: his son, Sylas Neil Holderman (Kylee Rininger) of Walkerton; mother, Teresa Martin of Plymouth; father, Rick Holderman of Lapaz; sisters, Danielle (Joshua, Paxton, Fallon, Lennon) Holderman – Stump of Lakeville; Brooklyn (Austin) Bragg of South Bend; Nicole Martin (Kody, Sylvia, Lillian, Oliver) of Lapaz.; grandfather Billy Martin of Plymouth; and grandmothers Edna Martin of Lapaz; Marge Holderman of Lapaz. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Louis Neil Holderman and great grandmothers, Lucy Mae Bowling and Erma Louise King.
