Riley Kate Holder

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our precious baby, Riley Kate Holder, who left this world on August 6, 2024. Born on July 22, 2024, Riley Kate graced our lives with two weeks of love and light. Though her time with us was brief, the impact she had on our hearts is immeasurable.

In those precious days, Riley Kate brought joy and hope to our family, showing us the true meaning of unconditional love. Her tiny hands and feet touched our souls, and her innocent eyes reflected the beauty and purity of life.

Riley Kate is survived by her loving parents, Blake Holder and Megan Waller, and her sister Paisley Ann, who cherished every moment with her. She will be forever remembered by her grandparents, Charles and Cheryl Waller, Sharie Holder, and Jason and Terry Klepper. She joins her grandfather, Shane Holder, who preceded her in death. Riley Kate will also be fondly remembered by her aunts, Kristin Waller and Lindsie Klepper, and her uncle, Trey Holder, who were blessed to have known her, even for a short time.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the love and support of our family and friends. We are grateful for the outpouring of kindness and compassion during this difficult time.

Visitation will be held at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home in Opelika, Alabama on Friday, August 9, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with the funeral service immediately following in the chapel. If you are able to join us, we invite you to wear vibrant colors as we celebrate Riley Kate's life. Flower arrangements are welcome, but we ask that you consider donations in her name to support the Montgomery Baptist South Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), a cause dear to our hearts. Donations can be made at https://baptistfoundation.org/ways-to-give/.

We will always hold Riley Kate in our hearts, cherishing the memories and the love she brought into our lives. Rest in peace, sweet angel, until we meet again.
