Nov. 28, 1955 – Jun. 9, 2014

Loren Edwin Aldous was born to Leslie E. and Elizabeth ‘Betty’ A. Aldous in Springfield, OR on November 28, 1955. The family later moved to Terrebonne, OR. Loren graduated from Redmond High School and married his high school sweetheart, Debra (Lindgren)Aldous on July 18, 1973. As a young man, Loren worked as a hired hand on Les and Betty’s Cattle Ranch. He then began driving chip trucks for Bar 7 A. He went on to buy and operate his own self-loading log truck. In the early ’80s he sold his logging truck and purchased Earp’s Auto Repair in Redmond to allow him to be home more and spend time with his wife and children whom he adored. Loren and Debbie have four children, Dusty Aldous, Angelia Aldous, Branden Aldous and Shandrea Aldous Martin, all of Redmond and Terrebonne; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Loren is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, and his siblings, Darwin Aldous, Sheri Wilkerson, June Mitchell, Marvin Aldous and Myra Skidgel.

Loren enjoyed spending time hunting, fishing, diving and camping with family and friends. He especially loved his time spent at the coast with Debbie and all the kids.

Memorial services will be held 2:00 p.m. Saturday, July 5 at the Dayspring Christian Center in Terrebonne, with a reception potluck to follow at the Terrebonne Horse Club.
