Loren GEBHARD Obituary
Aug 12, 1940 - Feb 15, 2026
Loren Gebhard, known to so many as Papa Lolo!
Born August 12, 1940, went to Jesus' arms as he was so ready for, on February 15.
The majority of his life was enjoyed in Medford, Spokane, and Liberty Lake. He was successful and well respected as a printing press mechanic.
Papa could fix pretty much anything we brought to him: a Miss Pac-Man video machine, a generator to a bicycle, and everything in between. Somehow, he could figure out what was wrong and get it working again!
He found such joy with his beloved wife, Bonnie, his friends, coffee buddies, friends that became family, family, children, grandchildren, and especially the great-grandchildren!
He was loved so big by so many, which was evident at the end of life when the door was constantly opening full of new, beautiful faces to send him off to our heavenly father and give him one last hug!
We are not letting death have a sting.... Our father in heaven has our Papa Lolo, and that is a beautiful thing! Papa couldn't wait to be in Jesus' arms!
