Not sure what to say?

I knew Loren through my ex-wife, Dana whose mother, Carol knew Loren since they were children growing up in Long Beach. CA. They remained close since childhood and my ex-wife and I had the honor of Loren singing Ave Maria in his beautiful and magnificent baritone voice at our wedding ceremony at St. Luke's church in Temple City in late February of 1990. I'm sorry it took so long to write this. I was thinking of him when he would come to our home for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. He was so...

I was saddened to hear of Loren's passing. He and I were best friends when we were 18 into our 20's. We kept in touch into the 1980's. Last saw him with his mother in Long Beach. He was a truly remarkable and gentle human being and, from reading the tributes here, it is good to know he found such happiness in AZ. We had so many laughs together. My thoughts are with each of you that were so special to Loren knowing that he was special to you. Blessings

My deepest sympathy goes out to Zach and all of Lorens family and friends.
It was an honor to get to know Loren even if only for a short time.
I am sure he is singing beautiful songs in heaven now.

When I think of Loren I consider that everthing about him was big: his physical presence, his laughter, his smile, and of course - his heart. I can still remember the time Loren sang "Unchained Melody" one kareoki night for his beloved Zachary, and how beautiful he sang out the lyrics of a love song that meant much to him. His love and affection for Zach are inspiring memories, and I hope that each of us will experience such a great love in our lives. God speed to you my friend - I know...

My memories of Loren are of his energy, vitality, and his wonderful laugh. The world is a bit more quiet today because of his passing. Things are a bit more lively on the other side of the veil with his arrival.

Grnadma and Grandpa and Loren are once again united and they are welcoming home their precious son.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew and loved Loren: his partner, his brothers, children, and extended family. May we remember his life with a...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of your father and Life's companion. We know how much you will miss him. We pray that the Lord will send his sweet peace to comfort you during this time of grief.
Duane and Donna Cecil

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Thinking of you at this time of loss.
