Hollis was born on December 12, 1932 in Runnels, Iowa. He was the son of George and Bessie (Spencer) Stier. As a very young man, he did a lot of farm work and mason work. He worked alongside his grandfather Alfred Spencer. He loved to be with his grandmother Etta as well.

Hollis was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean conflict from 1954-1956. Following his honorable discharge from the Army, he began his work in the concrete business. He was a genius when it came to working with concrete, he poured many basements, patios, sidewalks and driveways in the Marshalltown area. He worked closely with his brother Erv He eventually owned and operated a couple of his own concrete businesses in Marshalltown for over 30 years until his retirement.

He was united in marriage to his wife, Marilyn Perkins prior to his service in the Army. Through this union, he was blessed with three children. The two later separated. Years later, he was united in marriage to his second wife, Carolyn, Mozon and they were blessed with two children together. He was once again united in marriage to Beverly Butler and through this union he gained a son Jeff Butler which he raised as a kid of his own. Following their separation, Hollis met his life partner Lillian Dean and the two celebrated a wonderful 33 years together.

Hollis was a very hard worker and always had to be doing something. He loved his happy hour with his friends where he would play pool and down his afternoon cocktails. He often would be known as one who could cuss like a sailor. He followed his favorite football team which were the Kansas City Cheifs. He was a member of the State Center American Legion Post #122.

Left to remember and cherish his memory are his longtime companion, Lillian Dean; his sister Lois Eilander; his children, Gary Stier and Rich Stier of Arizona and Rita (Mark) Lyon of Nevada, his step-children Jeff Butler, Angela (Stacey) Warren, Ginger Dean and Sam Dean; numerous grandchildren, great- grandchildren, and great-great- grandchildren; and his furry companion Kaden.

He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Eve and Wayne Stier; his parents; his wives Marilyn Perkins and Beverly Butler; his son, Kenny Stier; and his other furry companions over the years.

The family wishes to thank the staff at the Iowa Veteran’s home for their care for Hollis over the last year.
