Loren A. Messick, loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away in his home in Springville on Sept. 21,2011 at the age of 64. Loren was born in Provo, Utah on May 28th, 1947 to Eldon and Inez Messick. He grew up in Edgemont and was the second youngest of seven children. He graduated from Orem High in 1965, and later attended the trade tech in Provo for two years where he graduated with a degree in Auto Body Collision repair. Loren worked in the collision repair trade for over 30 years where he maintained a reputation for doing quality work and was known for his ability to repair a badly damaged vehicle in the correct way while making it look easy. He enjoyed fixing up his own cars and owned countless beautiful vehicles throughout his life, the last being his nicely restored 1964 Buick Special which he loved and took pride in. Loren’s biggest passion in life was camping and riding dirt bikes with his family and friends. He enjoyed the Five Mile Pass and Cherry Creek areas and spent as much time as he could there. Loren was a very good friend and was always willing to help with anything he could. He loved his family more than anything else and he showed that love in so many ways throughout the years.

Loren is survived by his mother Inez Messick of Provo, his wife Debra Messick, sister Jean Echols of Orem, and brothers; Larry (Terry) Messick of Provo, Don (Esther) Messick of Provo, Clark (Jeanne) Messick of Grand Junction, Colorado, Bryan (Marcia) Messick of Santaquin; his children Bob (Tammy) Messick of Mapleton, Brenda (Scott) Gentry of Lehi, Dionne (McKay) Moss of Kempner, Texas, Shad (Mary Ellen) Messick of Spanish Fork, Shane Messick of Springville, Dwight Messick of Springville, 15 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his father Eldon Messick and his brother Perry Messick.

Loren was a good-hearted man. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Peace be with him.

His family would like to express their appreciation to all those who have offered condolences and support during this difficult time, as well as to ASU for all of their love, support and effort.
