Lorin was born September 18, 1941 in Brigham City, Utah. He graduated from Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah in 1959. He then went on to graduate with a Technical Engineering Degree from Weber State College before working for General Electric Apparatus. He retired as Regional Manager for General Electric in 1995 after working for the company for 32 years.

Lorin was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, downhill skiing, and water skiing. He traveled the United States extensively, visiting many states. He was a volunteer with Cache Community Food Pantry Backpack Program, St. Thomas Aquinas, and was a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus.

Lorin was a loving and kind father and grandfather who taught his children and grandchildren to respect and love nature and the outdoors. Lorin never limited what his daughters and granddaughters could or could not do or who they could become. Despite numerous medical challenges throughout his life, he maintained a resilient spirit through it all. He loved his family dearly and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Lorin’s family is very grateful for the services and support of medical professionals, especially Dr. Sarunas Sliesoraitis, LDS Hospital Bone Marrow Oncology team and staff, including Dr. Konopa and Dr. Mitchell, as well as the nursing staff caring for him in his final days.
