James Howard Holt "Jim" 
Sept. 19, 1945 - Jan. 8, 2006 

Born in Lawton, Oklahoma, September 19, 1945, Jim Holt was taken suddenly on 
January 8, 2006 after suffering a massive heart attack. Although he moved to 
Bakersfield with his parents Delbert and Yvonne Holt at only seven years of 
age, he never forgot his Oklahoma roots. Evidenced by his love of cars, Jim 
was once an active member of the Southern California Muscle Car Club. He 
enjoyed showing off his red 1966 Mercury Cyclone restored by he and his only 
son, Jaime. Jim spent twenty years in the Kern County Sheriffs Search & 
Rescue, originally known as the Jeep Posse. Known as Baker 32, Jim along with 
fellow members, helped save countless lives. He retired in 1993 claiming it 
was time for a younger group to volunteer. Growing up in the grocery industry, 
and a member of the Retail Clerks Union, he later spent twenty years with 
Dairy Fresh Everfresh Foods, Inc., as a route salesman. In 1998, he left the 
food industry to work with his friends at Gils Transmission until his death. 
Survived by his wife of forty years, Marjorie, he leaves behind three children 
and their spouses: Wendy and Michael Curtis, Misty and Jim Nicholas, and 
Jameson and Brandy Holt. He was blessed with seven grandchildren: Kelsey, 
Kristeen, and Kennedy Curtis, Courtney and Caitlyn Nicholas, and Kayci and 
Kalysta Holt. Pallbearers will be long time friends: Jimmy Ward, Bob Johnson, 
Bob Rouse, Bobby DiFranceisco, Carl Sparks, Kenny Halford, and Chuck Shaw. 
Jims sense of humor, desire to help others and unique personality creates a 
void in the lives of this family never to be filled. Many remember when ready 
to leave a setting hed playfully turn to his wife and say, Lets scoot, Jack!
and so he has. Recitation of the Rosary will be held Wed., Jan. 11 at 6:00 
p.m. at Greenlawn Memorial Chapel, 3700 River Blvd. Mass of the Christian 
Burial will be held Thursday, January 12, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of 
Perpetual Help, 124 Columbus Street.
