HOLLIS FRANCIS COKER OBITUARY
July 16, 1941 ~June 29, 2026
He lived as a man who understood, long before the world grew loud, that the quietest moments carry the greatest weight. His faith was not merely spoken, it was the steady compass by which he navigated every season of life, anchoring him in grace and guiding him toward goodness.
You would often find him in his favourite chair, a well-worn book in hand, the warm crackle of a vinyl record filling the room like a second heartbeat. He believed deeply in the wisdom of Stephen Covey’s words, that we are not products of our circumstances, but of our decisions and he made his decisions with intention, with prayer, and with love. He sharpened his saw quietly, faithfully, beautifully. And in the space between every challenge life offered and every response he gave, he chose character. He chose kindness.
He chose God. The music may have slowed, the pages now still, but the life he composed will echo far beyond this moment.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Hollis Coker, a most gentle and kind man with a noble spirit that will be cherished by all who were honoured by his friendship. He was one of Amoco Trinidad’s true pioneers and I acknowledge his great service to our Galeota mission..
May he rest in peace in God’s heavenly kingdom and may the memories of him give comfort to his family in due time.

Although I am now joining in… I Thought I must share that thought that stuck with me of Holis.
A master he was on work related issues and a pleasant friend if you did get to really know him. He was not satisfied until all around him knew the job that they were asked to do. And what was private with him was that he was always willing to look at things from different viewpoints and perspectives. A great brother he was… Go R.I. P. Amen..

Condolences to Malisa and the rest of the family, may his soul RIP and rise in Glory

I worked with Mr Hollis Coker for a number of years at Amoco.
He was a man of stature, a man of intelligence and integrity. A progressive man who encouraged those around him to demand the best from themselves.
It was an honour to have him as a Supervisor. He is soaring among the angels and asking them to always do their best. May he continue to soar.

Hollis F. Coker brought me into AMOCO in 1996. A true believer in youth who showed evidence of being a lifelong learner in everything called life. He was an Offshore leader and then led a team supporting offshore operations. A true character in his own right, but a man who pushes the envelope and you to your potential. He kept me learning and reading upwards and onwards… two degrees after, I thank him. May he RIP.

This is recognition for a mentor who shaped the trajectory of my life. Hollis was a man defined by a rare unshakable strength. A fortitude rooted in an absolute belief in himself and his vision. He never shrank from a challenge. He held himself to a high standard and refused to let others settle for mediocrity. While his absence leaves a void, he did not leave us unequipped. He is gone but the fire he ignited remains.
