"Love and loss are like a ship and the sea. They rise together. The more we love, the more we have to lose. But the only way to avoid loss is to avoid love. And what a sad world that would be."

A Eulogy for Holloway Roberts

Our dear Holloway Roberts was a strong, adventurous, fearless man.  He spent most of his days here on this magnificent Earth exploring everything that makes her such a wonderful planet to live on.  He never backed down from a challenge, and could carry the weight of courage farther than most grizzly bears. His resolve and passion for the outdoors, as crazy as it was, made him an awe-inspiring man.

Holloway came to the call of Mr. Will Navidson for his final and most dangerous exploration ever.  Without hesitation or timidity, Holloway guided himself and two other excellent explorers on three explorations of the volatile property on Ash Tree Lane, into depths which we may never know. His outstanding knowledge of survivalist gear, tactics, and weapons proved invaluable to the group, but also eventually equally as dangerous.

Though Holloway wasn't the most sane of men, it takes a little bit of crazy to go off on such adventures that might normally break or even kill most men.  Tragically, it was one such adventure that ultimately took his life. Though the house may have taken his mind and stolen his body, it cannot take his legacy.
