Clifford “CJ” Paul Hourigan Jr., 58, of Meriden, CT, passed away on March 5th, 2026. He was born on July 19th, 1967, the son of the late Marian Sehl and Clifford Hourigan. He is survived by his daughters Jessica Hamilton, Rebecca Hourigan, Abigail Hourigan, and Cady Hourigan. He is also survived by his brother, Richard Hourigan, Adria Hourigan, and their daughters, who will miss him dearly.
CJ's hobbies and interests helped define who he was. He enjoyed playing guitar and listening to Black Sabbath, often spending his time attending concerts. His love for music was something he shared with his children, leaving a mark on them that will never fade. CJ also loved spending time outdoors with his dog, Hunter, and kayaking in the ocean. He was the life of the party, always making everyone laugh.
We find comfort in knowing that Dad's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever. A private service will be held with his close friends and family.
To Rick and CJ's family,
I am shocked and saddened. CJ and his brother were neighbors of mine in the Carabetta's on Park St. I met CJ just as we were starting our freshman year at Wilcox. We were on the same bus all four years. It was CJ who got me into Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and a few other metal bands. The mischief we got into will always make me laugh. His sense of humor was beyond funny. We spent many an afternoon in his mother's boyfriend's living room listening to Black Sabbath albums and playing Atari. I would run into him in later years at concerts. He was the same CJ as back in the day. You…
Sorry for your loss
