MOKOSCH, Eric

ERIC MOKOSCH 1940 ~ 2025 ERIC MOKOSCH, beloved partner of Linda Larson, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 28, 2025, at the age of 85 years.
Eric is survived by his brother Erwin (Debra Stoltenberg), nieces Laura (Terry) Mehrer, Kathryn (Lyndon) Cousins, and Julie (Ben); as well as great-nephews Denton, Royden, and Brendan Mehrer. He was predeceased by his parents Andreas and Maria Mokosch.
Eric was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, and dedicated his life to education. Over the course of a long and respected career, he earned the admiration of his students and the esteem of his colleagues, culminating in his service as Dean of Education at the University of Lethbridge for a period of 12 years. Eric had a sharp wit, a signature laugh, and a unique sense of humor that left an impression wherever he went. He loved golf and spent countless summer days on the course with his friends, where his voice – often carrying across several holes – could be heard lamenting a bad shot with his famous, “What was that?!”
He will be remembered for his warmth, intellect, and unfailing generosity of spirit. His passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of his family and many friends, but he will remain with us – securely and fondly – in our memories, our stories, and the joy he brought to so many lives.
A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00a.m. on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2405 – 12 AVE S, LETHBRIDGE, AB, with Father Kevin Tumback officiating.
