A true cowboy, husband, father, sibling, grandfather, and friend, passed away at the age of 84 on January 20th, 2015.
Lorin Abarr, Sr., of Fallon, MT, was born on December 10th, 1930 in Billings, MT, near his family’s homestead in Dry Head. Beginning at the age of 14, Lorin worked on ranches and broke horses across the west. He was a true cowboy and horseman, considered by some of his time to be one of the best.
Lorin served in the U.S. Navy in an active war zone on an aircraft carrier during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged and returned to his beloved home state of Montana to live the life that he loved most-that of a cowboy. He met the love of his life, Pauline Abarr, at a St. Patrick’s Day dance in 1969 in Jordan, MT, while working on the Binion Ranch. They had two children, Lorin Jr. and Lorena, who joined two children from Pauline’s previous marriage, Echo (Kampf) Riley and Craig Riley.
Lorin was known to be a skilled horseman and cowboy, a hard worker, and a loving family man. His love and kindness toward animals and stewardship of the land remained central aspects of his character throughout his life.
Lorin is survived by his wife, Pauline, his children, Echo, Craig, Lorin Jr., and Lorena, his brother Don, his sister Anna May, his grandchildren Felicia, Shalina, Tessa, and Landon, and great grandson Toki. He was preceded in death by five siblings, his mother and father.
