Loren Rave Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Loren was a jack of all trades- he held various positions throughout his life, with a notable tenure at the Ho-Chunk Gaming Casino. Beyond his professional life, Loren spent time riding his bicycle, playing basketball, softball, and baseball, and he was an avid Packers fan. His love for sports was only matched by his passion for being a homebody. Loren found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as cooking and cleaning. Above all, Loren will be remembered fondly as the fun dad that he was.
He is lovingly remembered by his children: sons John, Peter, and Anthony Rave; daughter, Desia Tallmadge; and his cherished sister, Valerie. His memory will be treasured by his adoring grandchildren Avery, Charlotte, Katherine, Abby, Hazel, Harper, Luna, Jesus, James, Toni, Manape, and Tyrell.
Loren was preceded in death by his parents, Duncan and Rhoda Rave Sr.; his brothers, Meredith, Reuben Sr., Maynard Sr., and Brian; and his sisters, Gloria, Sharon, and Maxine, who have welcomed him into eternal rest.
Funeral services for Loren will take place Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at the Black River Falls District One Center at 12:00 p.m. Matt Mann will officiate. Friends and family are invited to visitation from 10:00 a.m. until time of service. Burial will follow at the Decorah Cemetery.
The Buswell Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements, 715-284-2231.
