Gary Robert Loewen
1953-2023
On September 5, 2023, Gary Loewen of Camrose, Alberta passed away suddenly at the age of 70 years.
Gary is survived by his wife of 52 years, Diane; children, Chris (Bonnie) Loewen, Jennifer (Ian) Forth, Ben Loewen; his foster son, Ryan Matchee; grandchildren, Jessica Loewen (Zane Hardes), Emily (Tyler) Dunn, Thomas and Gustav Forth; sisters, Lori (Brock) Lewis and Rita Longclaws as well as nieces and nephews. Gary was predeceased by his parents, Jake and Marge Loewen; brother, Ken and two sisters in infancy.
Gary will be remembered as a loving and devoted husband and father, putting his family’s happiness and comfort above his own. He loved the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind and strength and lived generously, putting his neighbour before himself. In addition to raising his own family, Gary was also “Dad” to numerous foster children over many years providing a safe and stable home to those who needed it most.
Gary was an accomplished businessman and entrepreneur, an amazing builder and designer of many homes, hospitals, other buildings and projects across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Gary shared a love for farming with Diane and in recent years together they built a beautiful homestead filled with animals and gardens fulfilling a dream of self-sufficient living.
A Celebration of Gary's life will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at Brightview Community Church (461079 Range Road 263, Wetaskiwin County).
