Michael Lorion Obituary
Oct. 21, 1949 - June 6, 2019
Michael Lorion passed away after losing his battle with cancer. He passed peacefully at home, surrounded by family.
Michael was born in Fitchburg, Mass., but spent the last 40 years in Oregon. He owned and operated Gladstone Recycling, and loved what he did as both a career and a hobby.
He is survived by his two brothers, Roger and David Lorion; and his daughter, Kara Costanza.
If you would like to remember him, the family asks that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, as he was a strong supporter of St. Jude's. A memorial service will be held for family and friends at 4 p.m., June 22, 2019, at Westside Church of Christ, 5525 S.W. Menlo Dr., Beaverton.
