Matthew Loh Obituary
August 2, 1961 - March 2, 2018
It is with great sadness that the family of Matthew 'Matt' F. K. Loh, 56, of Calgary, Alberta announces that he passed away on March 2, 2018 in Edmonton, Alberta.
Matt will be lovingly remembered by his children Brittany (Logan) Gray, Joshua, Madison, Declan, their mother Patricia, his parents John and Inge, and his brother Michael (Angela) and their children. Matt will also be forever remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends.
A native of Norman, Oklahoma Matt moved to Calgary in 1977. His life, career, family and interests lead him across the world from Indonesia to Tuktoyaktuk. As a respected Civil Engineer in the energy sector, Matt was a devoted mentor, friend and loyal colleague to many throughout his career.
Matt served on boards, committees and volunteered for numerous organizations, usually in support of his children's Ringette, Hockey and Soccer. He was a long time member of Grace Presbyterian Church where he also was an elder. In addition he was a proud and tireless supporter of the Ride to Conquer Cancer and was preparing to ride in his fifth race.
Matt touched a lot of people through his generosity and helpfulness and was always willing to do what was needed to get the job done. He will be missed immeasurably.
A memorial service will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church on April 21, 2018 followed by a Celebration of Life for Matt at Harvest Alliance Church, see www.lohfamily.ca/rememberingMatt
In keeping with his generous spirit Matt would wish his passing to support the things dearest to him. In lieu of flowers please visit www.gofundme.com/rememberingMatt

Tante Inge, es tut mir unendlich leid, dass Matthew gestorben ist. Als ich jetzt die Bilder meiner verstorbenen Eltern (Horst u. Hilde Eickert - Erlenbach/Main) ausgemistet habe, habe ich einen Brief mit deiner Anschrift und Bilder von deiner Familie gefunden und habe im Internet nachgesucht. Ich möchte dir und deiner Familie unser Mitgefühl ausdrücken. Liebe Grüe von Gaby Schultz (geb. Eickert)
