Todd Dylan Holmes served in the U.S. Navy for 3 years and 11 months.
Trooper Todd Holmes was killed when his patrol car was struck by a tractor-trailer on US Route 59 one mile north of Farm-to-Market Road 1793 in Harrison County.
Trooper Holmes had been parked on the northbound shoulder of Route 59 when he activated his emergency lights and began toward a crossover to pursue a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. As he pulled into the roadway he inadvertently drove into the path of a tractor-trailer heading in the same direction. The driver of the truck attempted to take evasive action but was unable to avoid a collision and struck the patrol car on the driver's side.
Trooper Holmes was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the Texas Highway Patrol for two years. He was survived by his expectant wife and three young children. His daughter was born four months after his death.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Trooper Holmes gave the Texas Department of Public Safety 2 years.
Thank you for your service to the people of Texas, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
