March 1, 2014, at Kootenai Health in Coeur
d’Alene. Services were held March 8 at United
Methodist Church in Bonners Ferry with private
interment in Grandview Cemetery.
Son of Jacob and Susana Loewen, he was a caring
son, brother, father and friend. Ernie served in
the Korean War; after returning home began his
career with the Southern Pacific Railroad which
lasted more than 30 years.
Ernie had a passion for "wheels."
He owned 31 motor cycles starting with a 1946
Cushman scooter and ending with a 2010 Triumph
Bonneville.
He possessed a positive outlook, a good word,
and most likely a corny joke to share.
He is proceeded in death by his wife Amanda and
his step daughter; Linda.
Ernie is survived by his daughter Jill Loewen,
sons Rodger Loewen, Kenny Jason and wife
Jennifer Loewen, step son; John. Ernie's 11
grandchildren and four great grandchildren and
loving friend Valdie Burkholder.

appreciation.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of
