Jeffrey R. Holland, Church Leader, Passes Away
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Jeffrey R. Holland, a prominent figure in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has passed away at 85. He served as acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, shaping church policy and overseeing its business interests. Hollands death, due to kidney disease, moves Henry B. Eyring up as the next in line for church presidency. Hollands health had been declining, and he was hospitalized over Christmas. He was known for his education background and boosting interfaith ties, earning the Anti-Defamation Leagues Torch of Liberty Award. The church now faces a vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve, which Oaks will fill soon. Hollands fiery 2021 speech urging members to stand firm leaves a lasting mark on the faith.
