A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor S. Isaiah "ike" 
Holman, deacon of Mount Zion Church, and to commend him for his years of 
faithful service to his church.

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of 
Representatives honors dedicated churchmen, like Deacon Ike Holman, for their 
devotion to their God; and 

Whereas, the son of the late Bina Brown Holman, he attended the 
public schools of Calhoun County and graduated from John Ford High in 1960. 
After graduating, he moved to Far Rockaway, New York, and worked for Clean and 
Brite Cleaning Service; and

Whereas, Deacon Holman entered the United States Army and later 
became a National Guardsman, retiring with twenty-two years of distinguished military 
service. He also retired from Albemarle Chemical Company in Orangeburg with twenty-seven 
years of service; and

Whereas, dedicated to making his home, church, and community the best 
that it can be, he is a faithful member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Fort 
Motte where he serves as a deacon, a board member of Calhoun County Resources 
Inc. and a life member of the Calhoun County NAACP Branch #5499, and he has 
served on many other boards and commissions through the years; and

Whereas, a quiet and gentle man, Deacon Holman has worked with many political 
campaigns and assisted elected officials to attain various offices and 
positions. He was very instrumental in the efforts to get clean water to the 
Fort Motte area and the repurposing of John Ford School into a community center; 
and

Whereas, together with his beloved wife, Octavia Johnson Holman, he 
reared three fine daughters, and they have blessed him with the affection of 
seven loving grandchildren; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for 
his years of service to his home, his church, and his community, and joins with 
his friends and family in saluting Ike Holman, deacon of Mount Zion Church. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by 
this resolution, recognize and honor S. Isaiah "Ike" Holman, deacon of Mount 
Zion Church, and commend him for his years of faithful service to his church.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
S. Isaiah "Ike" Holman.
