Loftus, Kenneth John
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.
Jerry and Brenda and all the families of Ken . So sorry for your lost. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jerry, Karen, Kelly and Pat and family my deepest sympathy you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have known you all my life as we lived two houses apart. 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
Sending my most deepest sympathy and prayers along with condolences to all the family and friends. May this most difficult time find a way to bring you all peace. Reminiscing back when we were kids and always remember the nice person that Kenny was. ♥️
Ken was one of the best friends a guy could ask for. Huge heart, contagious laugh.. always a smile. My condolences to all of his family and friends. He will truly be missed
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 could make you feel special with his warm and kind demeanor. He was a gentle soul. I am so sorry to read of his passing.
May you be comforted by special memories of Ken during this difficult time.

My condolences to Karen, Jerry, Pat and Kelly and extended family. It’s been many years but I’ll always remember Ken as someone with a kind person with a nice smile. It’s hard to believe how fast time is passing, thinking of you all!
My deepest sympathies to Karen, Pat, Kenny and Jerry. No matter where I’d see Kenny… he’d always have a kind word and warm smile. We’d reminisce about the parents and their crazy ways. Thinking about you all. Take care
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.
