Fils de Dr. M. S. Lougheed et Gladys (née Haney) Lougheed, de Winnipeg, Manitoba. L'officier Ralph James Lougheed est mort au combat le 7 janvier 1945 dans l'écrasement de son bombardier Lancaster dans le village de Hohrodberg, près de Munster, dans les Vosges, montagnes de la France. L'avion s'est écrasé près d'un hôpital pour enfants malades de la tuberculose, dirigé par des religieuses protestantes. L'une d'elles, Ida Meiss, a inhumé les hommes. M. et Mme H. Pickup, qui se sont liés d'amitié avec l'officier Lougheed pendant le déploiement à Oxford, en Angleterre, ont visité sa tombe en 1946. On peut les voir avec Ida Meiss sur l'une des photos de cette collection. Les Pickup ont remis la photo à Mme Gladys Lougheed ainsi qu'un petit morceau de l'avion quelques années plus tard après avoir émigré au Canada. L'Officier Ralph James Lougheed laissa dans le deuil sa soeur Florence et son frère Lawrence.
