John Lorant 1962-2023

He was born June 28, 1962, in Youngstown, the son of Julius and Judy Morey Lorant. He graduated from South Range High School in 1980.

John loved to sit at home and watch the drag races, and ride his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He could be found hard at work, either baking or meat cutting, which led him to being found in the kitchen cooking and making garlic powder, which he enjoyed doing for his family.

John enjoyed spending his downtime inside either playing games on the computer or sitting and doing crossword puzzles. He also enjoyed looking up his family history on his father’s Hungarian side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 31 years, Beverly Heck Lorant; mother, Judy Lorant; sister, Jacqueline (Donald) Niem; sisters-in-law, Eva Sullivan, Barb (Terry) Masluk and Marg (Carl) Rossler; brother-in-law, Willie Heck; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Julius Lorant.
