Harold Holcomb, Jr.

Harold C. Holcomb, Jr., age 77, beloved husband and father, passed away at his home on July 19, 2026. He was born September 1, 1948, in Atlanta, GA, to Harold and Louise Holcomb. He was the youngest of three boys and two girls.

After he graduated South Cobb High School in 1966, Harold joined the United States Marine Corps and faithfully served his country for three years, including eighteen months in Vietnam. Upon completion of his military service, Harold started work at Atlantic Steel Company where he worked until his retirement thirty years later.

During his time at the Atlantic Steel Company, he met and married the love of his life, Deanna. She brought, along with her, three little boys and Harold loved and cherished those boys as his own. He loved watching them grow and attended all baseball and football games. Harold was a kid at heart and was always ready for an adventure, whether it was four-wheeling, fishing, camping, or getting into shenanigans at his home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Louise Holcomb; his sisters, Pat Goodman and Pamela Beall; and his brother, Donald Holcomb.

He is survived by his wife of forty-seven years, Deanna Holcomb; his son, Blake (Mandy) Holcomb; son, Michael (Angie) Priest; son, Brandon Priest; and brother, Roland Holcomb. He is also survived by several grandchildren, nephews, and Atlantic Steel brothers.
