Kenneth John Loftus

Kenneth John Loftus, aged 62 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Thursday, September 13th, 2018 – but not until he gave it a hell of a fight, a fight to the end.  Born to Gerald and Aili (Violet) Loftus (both deceased), Ken is survived by his twin brother, Kelly; brothers, Jerry (Brenda) and Pat; sister, Karen Mortenson; niece, Maxine Loftus; and nephews, Kurt and Nolan Mortenson.  Ken worked at Klein’s Paint, General Paint, and the Saskatchewan Liquor Store. He enjoyed working with both staff and customers, and he formed good friends everywhere he went. Although he had no family of his own, he said his family was of lifelong friends Rob and family, Larry and family, Bill, Dan, and so many more.  All animals large and small, whether bird, horse or dog, were all a part of his world, especially a couple of little dogs, Murphy and Max, which he had a special place in his heart for. It is said that the true worth of a man is in his friends. Ken was indeed a very wealthy man and will be dearly missed. A Wake Service will be held on Wednesday, September 19th, 2018 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Eagles Club, 561 Home St W, Moose Jaw, SK.  A private family interment will take place at Rosedale Cemetery.  Flowers are gratefully declined. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Ken’s name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 1910 McIntyre St, Regina, SK S4P 2R3 or The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550.

    So sad I haven’t been to the old rail station store for some time. I had often taken my empty beer bottles and many a time got there before opening and would share a conversation with Ken before he went in the door for work. My sympathy to all.

I knew Kenny and Kelly the best as we are same age . I think I am two weeks older. Our parents were dear friends so we did spend a lot of time together. Kenny will be dearly missed by so many. Hugs to all

    I was so saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. We went to high school together. Whenever our paths crossed, he always greeted me with that ever-present warm smile and often a little chat. I will miss that — a lot. I regret that I won’t be able to be there on Wednesday to celebrate his life. RIP Ken.

    Ken was a noble man who always had a kind word from the time we played hockey as kids to the time we became seniors.
    He will be missed.

    Karen and family- our deepest sympathies. Even though I haven’t seen Ken for 15-20 years, I know he would have struck up a conversation if we had met on the street. Hugs to all.
