[Clubine Ranch]

Michael David "Mike" Holmquist, age 63, of Osage Beach, Missouri, departed this life on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at his home in Osage Beach.  Mike was born March 3, 1948 in Clarksville, Tennessee, the son of Charles A. and Charlotte M. (Porter) Holmquist.

Mike attended elementary and high school in Moline, Kansas, graduating from Moline High School in 1966. He graduated from Independence Community College in 1968.

In 1970, he joined Diane K. Trimmell in marriage and relocated to El Dorado, Kansas where he worked for Halliburton Oil Services. In 1974, he joined Trimmell LP Gas Co., which he later purchased and renamed Mike's LP Gas Co. After selling Mike's LP Gas Co. in the early 1980's, Mike worked for Cobalt Boats before relocating to the Lake of the Ozarks. At the Lake of the Ozarks, Mike was a Marine Tech for Glencove Marina and Village Marina.  Mike grew up vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks with his parents and continued the tradition with his children. After working for Cobalt Boats, Mike and Diane relocated to the Lake of the Ozarks in 2000 to fulfill their dream of "living on the water".  Mike was an avid boater and enjoyed every season at the lake.

Mike is survived by his loving wife, Diane, of the home; daughter, Angela Passantino and husband, Jim, and granddaughter Lauren of Lenexa, Kansas; son, Tyson Holmquist and wife, Jamie, of Shawnee, Kansas; mother, Charlotte Holmquist of Wichita, Kansas; sister Marilyn Gray of Wichita, Kansas; and several other relatives and friends.
