Friends -
I have some terrible and devastating news to share with you.
This morning, State Representative and House Republican Leader Hugh McKean tragically passed away. Hugh was a friend, a Republican leader, and a good man who worked for a better life for families all across Colorado.
Whenever I saw him or spoke to him, he had an encouraging word and was ready to lift others up.
Whenever I think of Hugh McKean, I’ll think of his smile and his positive outlook on life. One of the best memories I have of him is when I visited his office at the Capitol with my kids. In the middle of a busy legislative session, he still took the time to show my kids around his office, explain his science displays to them, and invest – even for a few minutes – in their lives. That was the Hugh McKean behind the political scene – a man who loved others and was happy to invest in them.

I’ll miss my friend, Hugh McKean. My family will be praying for his loved ones.
I hope you will keep his two children - Aiden and Hanna in your prayers - as well as his dearest partner and friend Amy Parks.
I look forward to seeing Hugh again one day, as he believed the words of Jesus in John 11:25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die."
