Eric Mabuti Lozano

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Eric Mabuti Lozano, who passed away on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario, surrounded by the love of his family. Eric was 50 years old.

Born on May 14, 1975, in the Philippines, Eric will be forever cherished by his loving wife of 21 years, Liezel Lozano, and his four beloved children Yrhicka Joi, Rham Edward, Elyana Grace and Liam Karl.

Eric is survived by his siblings Maria Nonica (Angelo), Mac (Janice), and Reynaldo (Tess), and is predeceased by his dear parents, Eduardo and Merzedes Lozano, and his sister Carla.

Eric will be remembered for his warm heart, kind nature, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He was a man who found true joy in being with his family, whether it was during quiet evenings at home or festive gatherings filled with music, laughter, and good food. A passionate cook, Eric was always in the kitchen preparing meals for others and making sure everyone felt welcome.

He enjoyed camping, traveling, and especially loved long scenic road trips. Weekends were often spent hosting gatherings at home—filled with family, friends, great food, and laughter. Eric was also proud to serve as a referee for the Basketball Association of the Philippines, where his leadership and spirit of fair play earned him respect both on and off the court.

Visitation will be held at Coutts Funeral Home, 96 St Andrews Street, Cambridge on Friday, July 11th, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, July 12th, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with a service at 12:00 p.m. Cremation will follow at a later date.

Forever in our hearts, Eric will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Don’t grieve for me, for now I'm free,

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

FOR IF WE LIVE, WE LIVE TO THE LORD, AND IF WE DIE, WE DIE TO THE LORD. SO THEN, WHETHER WE LIVE OR WHETHER WE DIE, WE ARE THE LORD’S

Romans 14:8
