NAAA Mourns the Loss of Bryan Holland of Mississippi

June 19, 2025

Bryan Frank Holland of Greenville, MS, was fatally injured in an ag aviation accident that occurred on June 6, 2025. He was 41 at the time of his passing.

Bryan played two years of college baseball at Mississippi Delta Community College before walking on at Mississippi State. It was during his time at Mississippi State when Bryan decided to pursue his love of flying. He enrolled in the Flying Tigers Flight School, where his dream of working as an ag pilot would become reality. At the time of his death, Bryan was working as an ag pilot for Farm Brothers Flying Service in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

Bryan was a devoted husband to his wife, Ashley, and a loving father to their two daughters, Landry and Analee. He was a passionate community volunteer. When away from his career as an ag pilot, he was often found on the softball or soccer fields where he volunteered his time as a coach to young athletes. He loved encouraging his team members to not only play the game but to love being part of a team and working together.

Bryan’s funeral was held on June 13, 2025, and he was buried at Hollandale Cemetery in Hollandale, MS. Read his full obituary here.

A fund has been established at Guaranty Bank for the Holland family. Send your donation to:
