Can humans completely lose their sense of touch?

People can lose their sense of sight, hearing, smell and taste.  But can anyone lose all sense of touch?  I suspect this wouldn't happen because the touch sense is distributed throughout the body's nervous system, but wonder if brain damage could cause such a loss.  It seems as though it would be extremely difficult to survive if you couldn't even feel the floor when standing or walking or your chair when sitting.
