Colin John Hough

Colin passed away tragically on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at the age of 45. Colin was the beloved husband to his wife, Laurie and father of two incredible boys, Kevin (9) and John (4). He was much loved by his parents, Janet and Bob Holman; his brother, Matthew (niece Malin, nephew Hawken), his stepsisters, Tabitha Caldwell (Steve) and Janice Holman (Andy) and his biological father, Charles Hough. He was loved as well by his mother-in law, Lorraine; father-in-law, Kevin; brother-in-law, Michael (Nelia), his large extended family and his many friends and colleagues.

Colin moved west as a young adult seeking work. He immediately fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and soon after met the love of his life in their shadow. Colin and Laurie chose to plant roots in the growing City of Airdrie where they could raise their children in the supportive community of many other young families. Airdrie was their forever home, and they would never consider living anywhere else. Colin took immense pride in working for Rockyview County and for its people.

Colin was a quiet, steady presence in the life of his family. He was an active father who was happiest watching and building Lego with his family and helping his children participate in sports such as soccer and swimming but especially his beloved game of baseball. He was rarely seen without a ball cap bearing the logo of his favourite teams, the Chicago White Sox, Dallas Cowboys or Calgary Flames.

Colin’s family want to thank the community of Rockyview County, their friends and neighbours, and their employers for wrapping them in a blanket of comfort during this time of unthinkable loss.

Friends and colleagues are invited to attend a Celebration of Life for Colin which will be held at the Westin Calgary Airport on Sunday, August 18^th at 2:00 PM.
