Mary and Family, I am so sorry about Jon’s passing. He will be missed so much. I have good memories of times we shared with him … he had such a good sense of humor and was just fun to be around. I am keeping you all in my prayers.
Mr. Loring – ‘Coach Loring” There are so many childhood memories that stand out and yet it’s the lessons learned from Mr. Loring that made their mark on me as a child and into my formative adult years. While I was on the softball field daddy was telling me fundamental elements of the game, “Choke up! | Keep your eye on the ball. Keep the ball in front of you.” While Coach Loring was yelling, “You can do it! | You’ve got this. | This is your BIG BREAKTHROUGH” Thank you for the motivation, inspiration and willingness to always look positively into the future, Mr. Loring. I watched you all those years as you brought all the people of various tribes together for fun, lessons and fellowship. You’ve never met a stranger and you always walked in integrity, honor and positivity. YOU MADE YOUR MARK and shall always be missed! Much love you to you and your incredible family! – Posey

Dear Mary and the Loring.family. I am deeply saddened by Jon’s passing! When I first read this, the picture of Jon that came into my mind was of him walking two year old Leslea (flower girl) down the aisle at our wedding. In the days to come, my wish is that all of you will have the warm and wonderful memories of Jon and the wonderful times that you shared together.
I met Jon & Mary on a mission trip to Honduras. There are no other servants with such joy and generous hearts. My prayers go out for the entire Loring family.
I will always remember Jon’s humor and terrific laugh. He was one of a kind!
Praying for strength and comfort through this difficult time for the entire family. Deepest condolences from my family to yours.

delivering milk bottles off of Airline Drive and followed up later with
his trailer business. Truly our best friend and a friend to the community!

Destiny has Marshall and Jon being BFFs with the Angels now! Praise the good Lord!
