Franklin Delano Holloway, Jr.

Capitol Heights, MD:  Franklin Delano Holloway, Jr., “Frankie,” was born on October 13, 1966, in Washington, DC, to Gladys Graham Holloway and the Late Franklin Delano Holloway, Sr. Frankie, the eldest son, had an older sister - the Late Veronica Renee Holloway; a younger brother - Terrence Dwayne Holloway; and a younger sister - Angela Smith.

Frankie was educated in the Washington, DC Public School System. He attended Spingarn High School, and received his GED through Job Corps in 1985, where he learned construction.

Frankie was a member of Rock Hill Baptist Church, in Saluda, South Carolina, where the Holloway family has belonged for many generations. He attended whenever he was in town.

Frankie worked and retired from Super Salvage, Inc., as a crane operator, having worked on many construction sites throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

A native Washingtonian, Frankie loved the Washington Football Team - formerly known as the Redskins. He enjoyed fishing and eating whatever his Mother cooked on his numerous visits to Saluda. Frankie had an awesome sense of humor and enjoyed making his family and friends laugh. He enjoyed music, especially, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly and Al Green. A self-proclaimed, “Momma’s Boy,” Frankie spoke to his Mom several times a day and it was his ultimate desire to move to Saluda when he retired, to be closer to her.

Frankie was the proud and loving father of one son, Antwon Houston.

And, the grandfather of Layla Houston.
