He is preceded in death by his parents and brother Steve Holt. Mike graduated from Garinger High School in 1961. Following graduation he devoted 30 years of service to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. Mike celebrated his 46th wedding anniversary this summer with his wife Marsha. He enjoyed all things outdoors, working in his garden, and hunting and fishing with friends and family. There was always a spare chair and a cold drink at the barn for anyone who stopped by. He is survived by his loving wife, Marsha, his son Michael Holt Jr., son Mitchell Holt and his wife Amber, daughter Nicole Osborne and her husband Josh, son Zach Holt, son Drew Holt and his wife Morgan, and daughter Christie Holt.

He leaves behind three great-grandchildren Drake, Nash, and Charlotte, as well as his brother Doug and his wife Gena, and many more loving family and friends.
