My Dad's Untimely & Devastating Death

Hello my friends and family, my name is Nick Loren and I am raising funds to help in paying off debts and offset costs in the wake of my father's senseless and heinous murder this past Monday, May 2nd.

It was 8 a.m. Monday morning when I received a call that no child should ever have to get. My father Todd had been murdered, stabbed in the throat, face and upper body so many times the detectives and coroner have recommended I don't see him but rather remember him as he was. I am so choked up writing this, but I feel I should be the one to tell you this rather than some random news outlet who knew nothing of my father.

He was 16 years old when I was born, not an easy task for an adult, let alone a child. Needless to say, he did his best and although we had our own personal growing pains throughout life, their was one consistent trait that made him the amazing and beautiful soul he was... that was his enormous heart. He always had a smile on his face, always a kind word to say to, and about everyone. He was the kind of man that if he had only $20 bucks in his pocket and someone needed it to pay a bill he'd give it to them without hesitation or them knowing it was his last 20. 

LOVE is what he stood for and LOVE is how he died.

It was 2 a.m. Monday morning and he was at work with his girlfriend "J" as he so often did when she worked the midnight shift. He never wanted her to work harder than she needed to earn money, so he'd always help her on these late shifts.

Just after 2 am he received a call from his roommate at home saying that someone they know was there drunk, yelling and being aggressive to the point it was making her nervous and uncomfortable... so he did what he would always do when someone asks for help, he headed to the house to calm the situation. When he arrived his roommates were in their rooms and the murderer was waiting. No one saw the incident but it's clear now what he was prepared to do. It undoubtedly happened by surprise since no one in the house heard a commotion until my father fell to the ground.

This sick 28 yr old murderer was someone my father had been helping, paying for his attorney to help him get out of trouble and doing what he could to help him get his life on track. It also happened to be his girlfriend, "J's" son. Turns out the very thing my father was trying to help him overcome with the courts (a stabbing) is how he ended my father's life. WHY WAS HE OUT ON BAIL? This is something I will take up at a later time.

I Have No words. 

I have created this GoFundMe to wrap up outstanding debts and expenses. Anything you can do to help is so greatly appreciated as we move forward without my father, the man with the Biggest heart of any man I've ever known.

All my love - Nick and family
