Loren Korte Obituary
Loren John Korte passed away at his home on July 13, 2025. Loren was born in Emporia, Kansas, to John Korte and Margaret (Burenheide) Korte on November 20, 1944.
Loren graduated from Humboldt High School and attended Allen County Community College. He also served in the Army National Guard before moving east of Humboldt and starting a dairy farm.

Loren was very community-minded and served on many, many committees and boards. Most recently the Allen County Regional Hospital board and HHS Old Grads. He loved supporting local 4-Her's at the livestock auctions and watching all the grand and great-grand kids show their 4-H animals. Loren loved his cows, baling hay, spending time with his family and going to the sale barn.
Loren was preceded in death by his parents, John and Margaret Korte; and his brother, Larry Korte.
He is survived by his wife, Janet of the home; daughter Lisa Wrestler (David); and sons, Mike Korte (Gari) and Jayson Korte; grandchildren, Josh (Kelly) Wrestler, Derek (Molly) Wrestler, Matt Korte (Angela Byers), Jordan Korte, Lauren Korte, Taylor Korte, and Genesis Korte; as well as 9 great-grandchildren, plus one on the way.
