Loren Erickson

So sad that Loren is gone. We lost a good one! We grew up in the Blue Grass area. Elementary, Jr. High, Sr. High at Dav. West, also had great times in 4-H. Always humble, friendly, and just fun to be around. We live in central Iowa, so didn't get to see him much the last 40 years. It's nice to hear he had such good friends and co-workers. The family sounds like a blast. I can imagine the good times he had with JoEllen, the kids and grands. Rest in peace, Loren.

It was so sad to hear of Loren's passing Being a Blus Grass boy we all spent our time with Loren and his family His mother was my teacher and my wife even got to know him when he had horses and she adored him. He always had a wonderful attitude and a huge smile on his face I got to see him last spring when he was taking cattle to summer south of our place and he stopped and we chatted for a bit and it was just like playing ball when we were kids again. He will be greatly missed, just a...

We are so very saddened to hear of Lorens passing. God bless him and our prayers are with you.

I got to know Loren while we were teammates on the West High basketball team. What a terrific guy! He was a friend to everyone! A dear friend of mine back in Davenport alerted me to his passing. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by many, many people! Rest in peace now, Loren

Have great memories of my cousin. Our families lived close to each other in Blue Grass. Once we moved to Davenport I would still see him at West High School. He would come to our home to eat before having an out of town basketball game. So many stories. Our sympathies to JoEllen and family. He will be truly missed.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Loren. He was a childhood friend of mine, a gentle giant with a good soul. I spent a lot of days on his farm, from baling hay to just horsing around. It was always entertaining to see him and his father get into heated shouting matches that always cooled off before going in to have lunch that Ruth had prepared. Was really proud of his accomplishments with winning the state basketball championship. Send my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Sorry for your families loss, remember him from riding the bus to school and his family visiting ours. His mom being our teacher in school and being in Walcott at the assisted living with our mom

Loren was such a wonderful man, a joy to be near and we are so blessed for the opportunity to know him, to love him and be loved by him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I've known Loren for a long time. I'm a Blue Grass kid, so I had his mother as a teacher!
