Colin Brougham Memorial Fund

On April 10, our friend and colleague Colin Brougham passed away unexpectedly in a tragic cycling accident on his way home from work. No words can describe the shock and sadness his family is suffering from their loss. Colin leaves behind his wife Rachel and son Thomas.

Although he was sometimes mistaken for Dave Grohl of the band Foo Fighters, Colin was more comfortable working quietly and tirelessly behind the scenes to make Adobe software better for creative users everywhere. With his experience as a videographer and his laser focus on details, he was an impressive guy who was respected and admired by everyone who worked with him. He made us laugh with his sardonic wit and we'll deeply miss his presence in our lives. 

Your gift will help build an education fund for Thomas

You can honor Colin's memory by helping to ensure his son has opportunities and choices ahead, advantages that will be harder to achieve without your support.

(Rachel Brougham, from Colin's obituary) 
"While Colin would be OK with you shedding a tear over his death, the best way to honor him is to do something kind in his memory. Tell someone you love them, help out a friend or neighbor and make sure your child knows how proud you are of him or her. He’d also want you to go play outside."

Your contribution means a lot to the Brougham family and will ease some of the uncertainty in their journey forward.

Thank you for your support!


This fundraiser was started by Colin's colleagues at Adobe. Rachel Brougham and their son Thomas are the sole beneficiaries.
