In Loving Memory
John Hough
John Hough of Lower Nicola passed away on January 3, 2026, at 70 years of age.
He is survived by his loving wife Mavis McTaggart, children: Linda Howard of Post Falls, Idaho, William (Mimi) Hough of Surrey BC, stepchildren Craig (Heidi) McTaggart of Aldergrove, BC, Ashley (Louis) Salinas of Plainfield, Illinois, Dustin (Leah) Kennedy of Mission BC, grandchildren Aurora, Alaina, Liam, Santino, Khaleesi, Gideon, Max and Parker.
He’s also survived by his brother Gary (Sherry) Joe along with numerous nieces, nephew’s cousins, and friends.
John is predeceased by his parents and many close friends.
Johnny was a hard-working man in the construction industry most of his life. He loved the outdoors and his happy place was in his gardens, spending time with his grandchildren and his dogs. He loved working with his hands and was a very skilled Native Carver. When cancer took over, he fought with everything he had but unfortunately, January 3, 2026, he succumbed to the disease. His strength, his fight, and his love for life was an inspiration to all who knew him. He passed away peacefully with his wife by his side, and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. The family wishes to express their thank you’s to the Royal Inland Hospital 5 North nurses for their care in his final days. If friends should desire Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

So sorry for your loss. I know there are no words of comfort, there’s nothing I can say that can take away your pain and make it go away.
For the hand of cards that you’ve been dealt is cruel and unfair.
Just know that I am here for you, to talk, to cry, or even to laugh. Johnny’s memory will be eternally etched in our hearts. Sure, life just handed you a big bowl of lemons.
Instead of making lemonade, I say we make lemon drop punch.
Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Johnny will always be remembered and never forgotten. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to all who loved him. It has been an honor to be part of Johnny’s journey. We shared the same sense of humor and I loved his passion for odd hobbies. He’s with the moon and stars now where we can always find him. RIP my friend.
I think all the good men leave us to soon. Watching your husband fight as hard as he could was an inspiration. Condolences to you and your family he will be missed but always in your 💞
