Glen Gordon Loutzenhiser July 8, 1969 – February 2, 2025. It is with broken hearts that we announce the death of Glen Loutzenhiser, age 55, in Oxford, England following a two-year battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor and son Toby, his mother-in-law Yve, his sister Lynn (Eldon), his niece Maya, his nephew Josh, his brother Marc, his best friend Ted, as well as many friends and colleagues. Glen was born in Moose Jaw SK, the youngest son of Nancy and Gary Loutzenhiser. He attended Central Collegiate High School, graduating in 1987 as the class valedictorian. Following graduation, he attended the University of Saskatchewan, graduating with a degree in commerce and a specialization in accounting (with Great Distinction). He moved to Toronto upon graduation to take an accounting position with Deloitte & Touche and he worked as an accountant until he began law school at the University of Toronto in 1996. Following his graduation, Glen began working as a tax lawyer at the Toronto firm Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. In 2003, Glen moved to England and completed his Master of Laws (with First Class standing) at the University of Cambridge. He then took a position as University Lecturer in Tax Law with the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford, where he simultaneously completed his PhD in tax law at Christ Church College, Oxford. In 2008 he was appointed as Tutorial Fellow of Law at St. Hugh’s College, Oxford and in 2021 his distinction as a scholar was recognised with the title Professor of Taxation Law. Glen and Eleanor were married at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford in 2008. Their son Toby was born later that year. They travelled extensively together and lived in rural Oxfordshire. Glen’s outstanding contribution to his field, his intellectual brilliance, his effortless kindness and good humour will forever be mourned by all who were fortunate to know him. A farewell and celebration of life was held on February 14, 2025 at St. Hugh’s College, University of Oxford.
