I have never known anyone like President Jeffrey R. Holland. Words were the brushes of his artistry, passion the oil of his paint, and love of Jesus Christ the canvas on which he painted. Like no one else, he had the capacity to break through a teleprompter or a pulpit or a microphone and squeeze my heart.
I loved seeing him laugh. I loved hearing him teach. I loved being with him. When assigned to speak in the same meeting with him, I realized I was out of my league, much like I would have been had I ever tried to play basketball with Michael Jordan.
When I learned of President Holland’s last hospitalization, I felt something a bit different than with his prior hospitalizations. He had completely worn himself out in the service of the Master. He had given all he could—and more. He had “fought a good fight… finished [his] course… [and] kept the faith" (see 2 Timothy 4:7).
I will deeply miss the President of my Quorum, my fellow Apostle, and my dear friend.
