Lauren enjoyed playing and watching golf, attending Nascar races, and loved a good tailgate party with family and friends. He loved listening to a wide variety of music, especially when relaxing with his sons while sitting around their homemade firepit.

Lauren was a well-known "jokester," he brought laughter to many!

Lauren dreamed of owning his own log cabin in Tennessee, where he could sit with his black coffee, or a beer, while listening to the sounds of nature.
