John Hurtig, alumnus of the University of Oklahoma architecture program, passed away on Sunday, August 25, 2024. Hurtig was a newly licensed architect in Colorado Springs in the early 1960s when he met Barbara, whom he married in 1964. They soon moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where Hurtig partnered with Jim Gardner and Norm Froelich, to form HGF Architects. HGF created distinctive and beautiful brick buildings in the Pueblo area for decades, including the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center. HGF continues to this day under the leadership of John’s daughter, architect Amy Hurtig-Smith. John Hurtig believed in Pueblo and the quality of life available for all ages.
