Christopher Cedric Holah, 78, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2025. He resided in Scappoose, Oregon on his beloved boat.

Around the marina, he was affectionately known as British. He was hard working, and loved golfing, as well as spending time with friends at Mark's on the Channel.

He is survived by his children, Gillian Cottrell, Anthony Holah, and Catherine Johnson.

Also his sister Patricia Harvey and his brother Richard Holah, all of whom reside in England. And lastly, Ann Marie Flahave, his partner.

Christopher will be missed immensely. He may have left this world, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved and knew him.

Slán go fóill…

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
