James H. Holloman, Jr.

The Oklahoma City Community Foundation trustees and staff offer our sincere condolences to the family of Mr. James H. Holloman, Jr.

Mr. Holloman served as a foundation Trustee, as Chairman of the board from 2003 – 2006, and on the foundation’s Investment Committee during his total tenure from 1997 – 2006. His expertise helped lead OCCF during times when our organization excelled and in times when the national landscape for community foundations experienced significant changes. His contributions extended well beyond his leadership and expertise. He was instrumental in securing the site of our current offices and helped create a culture at OCCF that matched his personal beliefs in giving back to his community. Beyond his contributions, of which there are many more, he was known by our staff as a kind, lovely, caring, committed person who was widely respected and admired. Mr. Holloman will be missed by many, but his contributions and kindness will endure.
