Rev. Grayson Lorenz, Wesleyan Church Minister, Dies at 24

Rev. Grayson Crews Lorenz, 24, passed away on February 24, 2020, at Hospice Home of High Point. He was born on November 10, 1995, in Forsyth County to Mark and Annette Rothrock Lorenz. Lorenz graduated from Southern Wesleyan University with a degree in Youth and Christian Ministries. During his time at the university, he met his wife, Laurie, and began his ministry career.

Lorenz was ordained with the Wesleyan Church and served as the Assistant Camp Director at Victory Mountain Wesleyan Camp. His life reflected the biblical principle that “He must increase, I must decrease,” as he dedicated his efforts to Jesus and never sought personal glory for his work. He was known for his sense of humor and commitment to his calling.

Lorenz is survived by his wife, Laurie Lorenz; his parents, Mark and Annette Lorenz; and his parents-in-law, Teresa and Pat Buckley. A memorial service will be held at Kernersville Wesleyan Church on February 29, 2020, at 4:00 p.m., with Pastors Stephen Tolan and Scott Simmons officiating. The family will receive visitors from 2:00 to 3:45 p.m. at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Victory Mountain Youth Camp, located at 3594 Youth Camp Road, Sophia, NC 27350. Hayworth-Miller Kernersville Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be shared at www.hayworth-miller.com.
