It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dan Loney, chair of Focus on the Family Canada’s board of directors.

Dan served for nearly two decades with Focus on the Family Canada, including two tenures as a director on our board. He helped guide Focus on the Family Canada through leadership transitions, the COVID pandemic, and other notable periods in the ministry’s history. He and his wife, Joy, are known for their love of family, having parented many children together – through birth, adoption, and fostering.

While our hearts grieve, we have an unshakeable knowledge that Dan is seated with Christ in heaven. The life he lived made his love for the Lord evident through his years of service, his heart of compassion, and his dedication to his family.  Please join us in praying for Joy, for their children, and for all those who knew and loved Dan as they grieve his loss.


Mike Peters is vice-chair of Focus on the Family Canada’s board of directors. 

Jean-Paul Beran is president of Focus on the Family Canada.
