Albert Holand III

Albert died suddenly of a heart attack on July 28th, 2024.

Ed was born in Long Beach, California in 1959 to Albert Edward Holand II and Kathryn Marie Richards.

Ed was always an entrepreneur first and foremost. He started his first business at age 17 with best friend Kevin Barrick, a driveway sealing company. He spent time living in Hawaii rebuilding houses as a contractor after a hurricane devastated the area. Ed would go on to found Barn Again Furniture in October of 1994. He would take run down barns and use the wood to create beautiful pieces of furniture. Each piece would feature a picture and a small summary of the barn from which it was built. Ed would then go on to found a similar furniture business Urban Renewal in 1996. After a number of years Ed was looking for a new challenge. He started at C&N Manufacturing in 2005, quickly growing the business and eventually acquiring it. The business still thrives to this day. Ed was also very successful in real estate.

Ed had an infectious personality and was loved by all who met him. He loved nothing more than seeing other people succeed and did whatever he could to help them do so.

Ed was also an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers. He would host game-day parties nearly every Sunday for his son and friends.

Ed is survived by his son, EJ Holand and wife Justine Holand, daughter Katherine Introwitz-Holand and and fiancé Bartholomew Carlson, his grandchildren Arya and Eloise Holand and Armahni Introwitz, his sister Mary Kay Holand, his ex-wife Kathy Boyd, with whom he was still very close and his beloved cat, Biscuit.
