o allow the execution to move forward. The appeals court has yet to issue a ruling.
“He was a very large giant of a man with a heart as big as he was,” said church secretary Nancy Gill. A page from The Birmingham News on August 7, 1999, shows Christopher Scott Yancy and his family. His killer could be executed this week, 23 years after the slaying. Holdbrooks was 32 when he died. He suffered six gunshot wounds, with the sixth being the fatal shot fired at close range.
Friends said Holdbrooks was a member of Amazing Grace Worship Center, serving as a youth sponsor and chaperoning field trips for church youth. He also worked the church’s sound system and helped with the softball team. “Everybody just lost a fine person,” said James Boothe. ‘’He was a godly person. I never heard him say a bad word to anybody and there’s not anything bad to say about him.”
“You couldn’t find a better person,” brother-in-law Bobby Mac Lawley said to The Birmingham News. “I don’t guess he had no enemies.”
