Colten Alexander Holzheu, 18
Colten Alexander Holzheu tragically passed away May 25, 2019, at the age of 18.
He was born Sept. 11, 2000, to Jarrod Holzheu and Nicole Marcum in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He is survived by his parents, his stepmother, grandparents, five brothers, four sisters, one brother-in-law, two nephews and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Colten entered this world on his time and terms, with a bang that continued to match his larger-than-life personality. He was charismatic: You could always see him smiling and laughing and hear him constantly cracking jokes. He had a comeback for everything thrown at him.
Colten had a passion for football and fast cars. His football career started with the Fitz League when he was in fourth grade and continued on throughout his educational career. He spent the first three years of high school playing football for Lake City High School and his senior year at Wallace Junior/Senior High School. He lettered at both schools.
When Colten wasn’t focusing on football, he was looking up different ways he wanted to build cars and trucks, as well as spending time with his friends. There was never a goal too high for him to achieve. He didn’t believe in limitations. He lived life on the edge.
He was a friend to everyone and was often seen lifting everyone up with his positive, loving attitude. Colten was like a shooting star: bright, beautiful and fast.
Colten graduated from Wallace Junior/Senior High School on May 24, 2019. His family was beyond proud of him, and he was proud of his own achievements.
He had an enormous, caring heart that could be seen from a mile away. Colten spent a lot of time with his family, with whom he had a deep, undying bond. Each relationship he built was as unique and different as he was.
He never fell short of letting his family know how much he truly loved and cared for them. No matter the circumstance, he always had a way of bringing everyone together.
His viewing will be held from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, June 1, 2019, at English Funeral Chapel, 1133 N. Fourth St., Coeur d’Alene. A celebration of his life will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, June 3, 2019, at the Altar Church, 901 E. Best Ave., Coeur d’Alene.
