24 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine ARTS, MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT Following the death of his sister in 2019 to cancer, Mr. Holesworth was prompted to begin writing his memoir. His first book, “Life and How to Live It: Volume One: Begin the Begin,” was published in 2024 and re-released in 2025 through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, Barnes & Noble Booksellers Inc. and IngramSpark. He published the second volume, “Near Wild Heaven,” in 2026. The books are inspired by the band R.E.M., drawing their title and subtitles from the band’s songs. This reflects the influence of music on Mr. Holesworth’s life. It is a source of personal strength, and he plans to honor the artistic works that sustained him during difficult times through a six- or seven-volume series. Mr. Holesworth is also the author of “Poetry Book,” which he self-published in 2025. His works have received several Global Book Awards for biography, survival and poetry. A natural optimist, he is deeply driven to bring his books to a broader audience. For nearly 20 years, Chaz Holesworth has been a friendly face along his mail route in Glenside, Pennsylvania, greeting the residents and business owners he has come to know throughout his career. However, his path to this profession has not been straightforward. It is a journey he is documenting in his memoir series. Mr. Holesworth persevered amid a difficult childhood, which included growing up in poverty, navigating his father’s addiction and witnessing his mother’s born-again Christian influence. Rock music was the one thing that often brought him comfort during this tumultuous time, though he was expelled from his Christian high school for listening to it. He earned his General Educational Development certificate but struggled in community college because his earlier education prioritized the Bible over academic subjects like science and English. Despite these challenges, Mr. Holesworth passed the postal service exam in 2005 and began a stable, rewarding career in 2006. For the last four years, he has served as his branch’s union steward, advocating for workers’ rights. He is also a member of the National Association of Letter Carriers and has served as a shop steward since 2015. CHAZ HOLESWORTH AUTHOR OF POETRY AND MEMOIRS Willow Grove, PA
