Timothy Decker Holder was born May 14, 1953 in Elko, Nevada the son of Lyal and Shirley (Mortensen) Holder.  Tim's family lived in several places before settling in Orem Utah in his pre-teen years. He graduated from Orem High School and attended two years of college at Brigham Young University and taught Sunday school at the LDS church.

Starting in 1972 he served two years on a Latter-day Saint mission to Frankfurt, Germany.  Upon returning to Utah he worked at a bicycle shop in St. George where he met Dolores Campbell and they were married February 18, 1977.  They remained in the Provo - Orem area for 22 years before moving to Colorado and then to Gillette, Wyoming in 2005.

Tim worked for years in management for various computer companies.  After moving to Colorado, he taught seminary which lead to the interest in seminary/Latter-Day Village websites. Shortly after moving to Gillette, he started his own Latter-day Village website,  which he was operating at the time of his death.

His interests included computers, he would help anybody who needed help with a computer problem and had lots of equipment and books about computers, if he didn't have the answer to a problem he found someone who did.  He also enjoyed watching movies, going on long drives and taking lots of scenic pictures.  Most of all he enjoyed spending time and playing with his grandchildren.  They had good times in play land at McDonald's and spending their "Fun Dollars" at the local dollar stores.
