U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) released a statement following the death of Jeffrey R. Holland, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“I join other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in mourning the loss of President Jeffrey R. Holland. Known for his empathetic love and care for others, President Holland embodied a Christ-like spirit of generosity. His more than 30 years of service in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spread the gospel far and wide, inviting others to know the unrelenting love of Christ here on earth,” Crapo said.
Holland served as a member and later president within one of the highest governing bodies in his church for over three decades, focusing on religious outreach and leadership.
