“HE was a modern-day Renaissance man. A man of great substance and depth.”
This was how Evan Loquan described his father, former National Gas Company (NGC) president, composer, filmmaker and national award winner Mark Edward Loquan, at the funeral service for him yesterday at St Finbar’s Roman Catholic Church, Diego Martin. He noted he was speaking on behalf of his mother Patricia Loquan, who “loved Mark, and supported him wholeheartedly”.
Expounding upon his character, he recalled: “He had the rare ability to synthesise insights across disciplines with ease. What stood out most was his character. He almost never called me by my name. To him, I was simply ‘Son’. The way he said it—warm, supportive and encouraging, carried more meaning than any title ever could.”
