ObituarySep 24, 2016METAMORA - Dennis "Denny" A. Houghton, 72, of Metamora passed away Thursday, September 22, 2016, at Morton Terrace HRC from complications of Alzheimer's disease.
He was born to John C. and Ruby A. (Tuttle) Houghton on December 14, 1943. Denny was a long-time resident of Peoria and graduated from Richwoods High School. From a young age, his passion in life was for archery and hunting. He was more interested in the techniques associated with archery and the skill involved in the hunt, than with the actual "kill". He was a member of Kickapoo Archers of Peoria and a charter member of the Fred Bear Sportsman's Club. He owned and operated Ardell Archery in Princeville for a number of years and was Bear Archery's Salesman of the Year in 1976. He compiled and produced the CD recording "CAMPFIRE STORIES AS TOLD BY FRED BEAR" issued in 2003. He worked in various sales positions throughout his lifetime.
Denny is survived by his wife, Becky, of Metamora; daughters, Christy of Virden and Jennifer of Chillicothe; and four grandchildren, Katelynn, Jacob, Christopher and Rebecca. A step-daughter, Joyce, and two step-grandsons, Dakota and Montana, all of Rochelle, also survive him as do two older sisters, Karen and Jane.
Denny was preceded in death by his parents, John and Ruby Houghton, in 1994 and 1988, respectively. He was also preceded by a younger brother, Gordon L "Pete," in 1999 and an older brother, John Darrell, in 2014. Denny was a member of Great Oaks Community Church in Germantown Hills.
Cremation rites have been accorded. A Celebration of Denny's Life will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016, at the Davison-Fulton Woodland Chapel in Peoria. Memorial contributions may be made to the Central Illinois Alzheimer's Association at 608 W. Glen Ave. Peoria, IL 61614 or the St. Jude Midwest Affiliate at 4722 N. Sheridan Road, Peoria, Il. 61614. The family wishes to thank the caregivers, nurses and CNAs at Morton Terrace, Grandview and Unity-Point Methodist who helped to care for Denny during the years of his illness and also the love and support of friends and family.
