With family by his side, Fred Lohnes passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025, at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. He faced his illness with quiet strength and dignity.

Beloved husband of over 54 years to Patricia Lohnes, Fred was a proud and devoted father to Jeff and Ken, and a cherished father-in-law to Julie and Liz. He found great joy in being a grandfather to his five wonderful grandchildren: Peyton, Emily, Machaila, Mackenzie, and Alexcia.
