Apr 6, 2025

It is with profound sorrow that Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, extends deepest condolences to the family, friends, and communities that Mark Loquan so tirelessly served. A true patriot, his selfless dedication to the development of our nation’s energy sector and culture, particularly in the realm of steelpan, has left an indelible mark on our country.

In 2024, Mr. Loquan was awarded our nation’s highest honour, the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (ORTT) for his remarkable contributions to Trinidad and Tobago. May his legacy continue to inspire, and may his loved ones find strength during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Mark Loquan. Your work and spirit will forever resonate within the heart of our nation.
