Marquis “KeKe” Davon Holliman, 38, of Camden, AR, passed away, way too soon in the city of Arlington, TX were he resided for the last 4 years on June 6, 2024. He was born on August 5 of 1985 to the proud parents Joyce Ann (Holliman) Bryant and Curly Henderson of Sparkman, AR. Despite facing the challenges that life put in front of him, Marquis remained a beacon of hope and inspiration to all who knew him.

Throughout his life, Marquis embodied kindness and compassion and loved his mom and family dearly. His selflessness and generosity knew no bounds, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of his friends and family alike. Marquis moved to Dallas to be closer to his mom during her sickness, in which he settled down, found work with a Independent Moving Company, where he worked long hard hours, but he enjoyed his job and his job loved him.

Marquis was one of the funniest of the family, he loved entertaining his music and having barbeques. Always had a joke, he would always say to his mom "What you want Woman", and his smile would light up the sky when he came around the corner, but most all he was an inspiration to his family, Marquis showed us if you worked hard enough, you can build a road a brick at a time. Marquis walked that paved brick road every day.
