Hollis Stewart Atlanta Georgia Obituary: It is with profound sorrow that we share the tragic and untimely passing of Hollis L. Stewart, 58, of Atlanta, Georgia. Hollis’ life was suddenly and cruelly taken from us on Sunday afternoon, when a split-second mistake led to a devastating accident that claimed his life. Hollis died instantly after his car collided with the rear of a Peterbilt truck on I-20, near Heflin’s 196-mile marker. The crash, which occurred at approximately 4:40 p.m., left a mangled wreckage, offering no chance for survival.
In an instant, the world lost a man who meant so much to his family, friends, and community.

Hollis’ sudden death is a stark reminder of how fragile life can be, and we join his loved ones in mourning the loss of a truly remarkable man.
Born and raised in Georgia, Hollis was a fixture in his community—a man known for his kindness, integrity, and loyalty. He was a son, a brother, a father, and a friend, and his love for his family and those around him was evident in everything he did.
