A dear infant son, Hollis Mathew Pirness, passed away on December 23, 2019. He was born to Darren and Erika Pirness December 27, 2019 at Maple Grove Hospital in Maple Grove, MN. 

Hollis is survived by his parents, Darren and Erika Pirness; siblings, Reed, Cedric, Maude, Sadiee, Seth, Elladee and Gilbert of Montrose, MN. He is survived by his grandparents, Richard and Barbara Laho of Buffalo, MN and Ernest and Marlene Pirness of Outlook, SK Canada. He is also survived by his great-grandmother, Norma Hillukka of Menahga, MN; and many aunts and uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters in faith, and friends. 

Hollis’ birth was joyfully anticipated by his family as they looked forward to his arrival shortly after New Years. God had other plans though and called him to his heavenly home before his birth. The family has found comfort in these words from Zechariah 8:5, “And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets there of.” Hollis will be remembered with longing and dearly missed. 

The family would like to thank the staff in labor and delivery at Maple Grove Hospital, especially Anita, Jaclyn, and Krista for their kindness, love and compassion during this difficult time. 

The funeral service will be held at Monticello Laestadian Lutheran Church on Monday, December 30, 2019 at 12:00 PM. Visitation will be held at 11:00 AM. Interment will be held at Lakeview Cemetery in Buffalo, MN.
