PROVO, Utah — President Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles died early Saturday at the age of 85, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced.
Holland had been admitted to the hospital earlier in the week due to complications associated with kidney disease. He died at approximately 3:15 a.m. while surrounded by his family.
After serving as the president of Brigham Young University from 1980-1989, Holland became an Apostle in June 1994, and was its second-longest serving member.
“I have loved President Holland since those early days [as a young missionary],” said Elder Quentin L. Cook, who added that he had a “fabulous” talent for teaching the gospel, along with “enormous spiritual depth."

(NOTE: When Russell M. Nelson died per the above link, his successor, the President of this Quorom at that time, was Dallin H. Oaks, who is currently head of the LDS, and that automatically elevated Jeffrey R. Holland (subject of the OP) the next in line as the President, who has now died)
