Ottis Courtney Hollon, 93, of Crittenden, KY, passed away March 30, 2026, at the St. Elizabeth Hospice in Edgewood, KY, following injuries sustained in a car wreck. Born September 10, 1932, in Campton, KY, he was the son of the late Willie and Rosa (Childers) Hollon and was one of five children.
Ottis honorably served in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Machinist's Mate (ADR2) from May 1, 1952, to June 1, 1956. After his service he joined Cincinnati Milacron where he retired and then started his second career at Eagle Creek Country Club. A quiet, constant presence, he loved being outdoors—farming, gardening, mowing, tinkering in the barn he built, and crafting beautiful furniture for his family.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Betty Lou (Landrum) Hollon; daughters Rita (Hollon) Fisk and husband Mark Fisk, and Rhonda (Hollon) Sharp and husband Derick Sharp; granddaughter Courtney (Fisk) McCarthy and husband Kevin McCarthy; and great-granddaughters Harper Lou (4) and Ellis Jo (2). He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings.
Visitation will be Thursday, April 2, 2026 from 11am-1pm at the Elliston - Stanley Funeral Home in Crittenden, KY. Funeral Services will be at 1pm. Pastor Matt Holleran will be officiating services. Burial will be in the Crittenden Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Elizabeth Hospice Care or the Grant County Agricultural/FFA.
