ObituaryAug 10, 2014PATRICK "PAT" SEAVER HOUGHTON
December 6, 1953 ~ July 27, 2014

Pat Houghton, 60, passed away after a short struggle with kidney cancer at his home in Vancouver, WA. He was born in Carson City, NV to James Vincent and Joan Houghton. He graduated from Carson High School in 1971 and attended the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Pat was an outgoing, gregarious man, and avid baseball fan. He loved the outdoors and spent time cross-country skiing. Pat's love of the outdoors lead him to work involving natural resources: at both McMurdo and South Pole Stations in Antarctica unloading C-130s; with the California Ecology Corps on the Pacific Crest Trail; in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Sport Fish and Habitat Divisions; and in wildfire management for Alaska Fire Service (Fairbanks) and the interagency Northwest Coordination Center in Portland, OR. After leaving the NW Coordination Center in 2007, he volunteered for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, then the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Visitors Center until his death.
Pat is survived by his loving wife of 15 years, Judith Ann Gordon; twin brother, Roy and his wife, Pamela Houghton of Carson City; older brother, Peter of Thailand; niece, Sarah and her husband, Josh Billings and their children of Carson City; nephew, Adam Houghton and his wife, Anna of Reno, NV; niece, Elise McClain, U.S. Army Tampa, FL and her children; nephew, David Eagle of Noxon, MT; mother-in-law, Naomi Gordon of Neptune, NJ; and his sister-in-law, Danielle Gordon of Princeton, NJ.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sept. 27 at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Visitors Center.
Donations may be made to the Oregon Humane Society in honor of Patrick.

ObituaryDec 5, 2003Friends called Carl Eugene Houghton a small man, but he spent his time on earth often living much larger than life.

The Penn Valley man was much more than just a husband, father and friend who dabbled in dozens of businesses and passions.

He was, as his daughter Marlys Houghton of Penn Valley described her father, who died Nov. 25, a man with the golden touch.

Graveside services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday at Greenwood Memorial Gardens in Grass Valley, with a celebration of life following at Mr. Houghton's Lake Wildwood residence. He was 79.

A Navy torpedo man who enlisted just after the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, Mr. Houghton was an outdoorsman, gas station owner, developer, contractor, moving company maven and a real-estate broker.

He held so many jobs - and was so successful in them - he could have sparked jealousy in legendary con man Frank Abagnale Jr., whose life was featured in the 2002 movie "Catch Me If You Can."

Mr. Houghton is listed in the "Hunting Book of World Records" for bagging the largest caribou, and his golfing skill was such that, when he moved to Lake Wildwood 19 years ago, he took up residence at the gated community's first tee.

"He just wanted to be successful," said Marlys Houghton.

And Mr. Houghton lived up to that reputation. Properties he purchased in Vacaville and Paradise are now lucrative shopping centers. A dozen Lake Wildwood properties he bought were turned into large homes. Years ago, he purchased a 1,000-acre swath of Penn Valley land on Highway 20 that he later developed into a series of ranch homes.

Mr. Houghton was successful enough to keep 100 acres for himself, where he raised Black Angus steer on a ranch, his daughter said.

When he wasn't wheeling or dealing, Mr. Houghton was off in the West or overseas, hunting elk or other big game, his daughter added, noting that her father would often bring the beasts home, stuffed and ready for mounting.

"He didn't like to lose at anything," said Dave Leslie, who helped build Mr. Houghton's Lake Wildwood homes.

"He had the money, and I had the muscle," Leslie said.

Of his friend's competitive nature on the hunting trail, "He was always looking to bag a bigger one," Leslie said. "He was always trying to outdo you, but he'd do it in a quiet way."

Mr. Houghton took many of his trips on a wing, flying his Cessna to Pebble Beach or Montana on golfing or hunting excursions.

Mr. Houghton's only weakness, it seemed, was his wife Noni, who in 59 years of marriage rarely flew with him on those trips.

Mr. Houghton was a man who rarely sat still.

"No, never," Marlys Houghton said. "Building homes was his retirement."

Perhaps it was her father's lack of height that made him try harder, she said.

"He was a little guy, but mighty. He was always shorter and smaller than everybody, even my mother," Marlys Houghton joked.

Carl Eugene Houghton was born April 29, 1924 in Vacaville, to Walter and Agnes Houghton-Dean. He attended high school in Sacramento before enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1941. He married his wife, Leona Ellen, in 1945 in Vallejo. He was also an avid yachtsman.

He is survived by two daughters, Marlys Houghton of Penn Valley and Karyn Erickson of Placerville; a son, James, of Penn Valley; a brother, Richard, of Fairfield; three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his mother, Agnes Houghton-Dean, sister, Lourraine Greening and his wife, Leona Houghton, who died earlier this year.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Hospice of the Foothills or the Alzheimer's Aid Society of Northern California, P.O. Box 1824, Sacramento 95812.
