Loren
Bruce LENZ. Born in Juneau, Alaska
December 2, 1947 passed away on June 4, 2009, in the loving
presence of his family. He was 61. Loren resided most of his life
in SeaTac,
Washington
and was the caretaker of his parents. His dedication to his family
was evident in every phase of his life. He was a devoted son,
loving brother and proud Uncle. He was very excited that he was
going to be a Great Uncle for the 30th time and told everyone he
came across about his family and how much he loved them.
He was the
3rd born of 6 children, and was the "Keeper" of our
memories. Loren could recall every event of importance and
was a constant reminder of how important family is. Loren had a big
heart and gave constantly to others. A lover of music, he played
his car stereo loudly, and without inhibition. Loren was Alaskan
Indian and was proud of his Tlingit-Athabascan heritage. He was a
member of the ILWU Local 19 Union since 1967.
He will be sorely missed
in our family. This loss leaves an empty space that can never be
filled. He told us he loved us everyday that we spoke with him, so there
was never a doubt. We love you too Loren, and we will strive to be
more like you. Thank you Loren, for all you have taught and given us
through your life. The celebration of Loren's life will be held at Bonney-Watson
Washington Memorial,
16445 International Blvd
, SeaTac on Saturday June 13, 2009 at 12:30 PM. A reception will be
following.
