Loran was born on January 26, 1955 in Wolf Point, to Willard and Malisse Mahlum. He graduated from Wolf Point High School in 1973, the same year he became the first wrestler from Wolf Point to win a state championship. Loran made his living as an independent contractor. He started out building houses in Wolf Point with his brother, Gary, then in the early 1980s he had an oilfield service company for several years. He eventually got back into the construction field, and lived in Lakeside, Fort Peck and Helena.
The great event in Lorans life was in 1983 when his son Norven was born. Loran was constantly planning things that he could do with his son. Outdoor sports were what they enjoyed and it was on a fishing trip with Norv that Loran passed on from this life, doing what he loved with the person he loved most. Loran was a passionate, resourceful man, always exploring new ideas to help his friends. He was a truly unforgettable experience.
Loren is survived by his son; Norven Mahlum of Belgrade, his mother; Malisse, and his brother; Gary, both of Wolf Point. Loran also leaves a special friend; Rene of Helena.
He was preceded in death by his father; Willard.
