With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Loren, the original owner and founder of LRE Automotive, following a long and difficult battle with early-onset dementia.
Loren started LRE Automotive in 1992 in a small three-bay shop, and in 1999, moved the business to its current location. In 2008, he ventured on to other endeavors, but the foundation he built has remained an important part of LRE’s story.
As the current owner, I recognize the hard work, dedication, and vision it took for Loren to build this business from the ground up. But beyond what he built, Loren will be remembered as a caring, kindhearted man who meant a great deal to those who knew him.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. We are grateful for the legacy Loren began and the part he played in making LRE Automotive what it is today.
The family held private funeral arrangements.
Rest peacefully, Loren. Thank you for starting something that continues to live on today. You will always be a part of the LRE Automotive story. 🖤 🔧 🛞
