Aaron Loehr Memorial Scholarship Program

Aaron Loehr was hired as a Project Engineer for Pace Construction Company in 2003 upon his graduation from the University of Missouri at Rolla. Through his dedication to the company, his passion for the construction industry, and the ownership that he took in everything that he did, he worked his way up to become the President of West Plains Bridge and Grading and eventually became a valued member of the Lionmark Ownership Team.

In 2020, Aaron unexpectedly passed away at the young age of 40, leaving a hole with his family as well as with the Lionmark Team.  Our hope is that through the Aaron Loehr Memorial Scholarship, his legacy will live on by investing in the family members of our employees, who he would have considered part of his own family.
