DeathMar 24, 2017Colorado Springs, CO, USA
ObituaryApr 2, 2017Scott Douglas Houghton died unexpectedly in his home on March 24, 2017 in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the age of 59.

Scott is survived by his wife, Marion; son, Seth and wife, Heather; son, Trevor and wife, Alison; his grandchildren, Brayden, Hailey, and Addysen; siblings, Lisa and Randy; numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Scott is preceded in death by mother, Marilyn; father, Lyman; and siblings, Jim and Mary Susan.

Scott was born on May 5, 1957 in Pueblo, Colorado. While living in Alamosa, he met Marion, his college sweetheart and soul mate. They were married in 1978 and spent the next thiry-nine years loving and caring for one another. During their first seven years together, the couple welcomed two children into their home.

Scott was a loving, gentle, and devoted husband and father. Family was the center of his life and there was nothing he wouldn't do for his wife or children. He adored his grandchildren and took great pleasure in spoiling them. His children remember him as a kind, gentle, patient, driven father who encouraged them to pursue their goals. He valued his friends, saw the goodness in each person he met, treated everyone with respect, and was an optimist, choosing to always see the glass as half full.

Scott was accomplished at construction and woodworking, and often turned the garage into a workshop. He learned the trade from his dad, Lyman Dewell, and went on to build custom homes, delivering quality and fulfilling dreams for his clients. He was proud to be involved with the Housing and Building Association, served on the Board of Directors, achieved his life spike, and served on numerous other committees. He was an adventurous individual who loved life, and who was passionate about family, travel, and great food. After fixing one of his many wonderful meals, when told how great it was, he would always say, "It's just something to eat." He was an active and dedicated member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and NRA.

He will always be remembered for his love of family, willingness to always give a helping hand, that little mischievous look and smile that came across his face when he was being ornery, but also for his loyalty, integrity, and compassion for all.

He was loved and will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.

Memorial Service, 1:00PM, Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at The Springs Funeral Services-North, 6575 Oakwood Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80923. There will be a reception to follow at his home. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Scott's life.
