Foundation

John Wesley Holt was known for showing up and for giving his time and heart freely to those around him. His character left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

The John Wesley Holt Foundation exists to carry that legacy forward by turning loss into lasting impact. We are working to change the law, protect lives, and ensure real accountability when someone flees the scene of a crash that causes death or severe harm - so that no family is left without justice.
