Lorenz

SOPHIA – Rev. Grayson Crews Lorenz, 24, passed away Monday, February 24, 2020 at Hos-pice Home of High Point. Grayson was born on November 10, 1995 in Forsyth County to Mark and Annette Rothrock Lorenz. He graduated from Southern Wesleyan University with a degree in Youth and Christian Ministries. Grayson competed in Track and Field and enjoyed the out-doors. SWU is where he met his wife, Laurie, and pursued his calling into ministry. He was or-dained with the Wesleyan Church, serving as the Assistant Camp Director at Victory Mountain Wesleyan Camp. Grayson’s whole life depicted John 3:30 – He lived by the scripture “He must increase, I must decrease” – everything he did was for Jesus. Grayson never took any glory for his works and had a wonderful sense of humor.
Grayson is survived by his wife, Laurie Lorenz; his parents, Mark and Annette Lorenz; and par-ents-in-law, Teresa and Pat Buckley.
A memorial service will be held at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, February 29, 2020 at Kernersville Wesley-an Church with Pastors Stephen Tolan and Scott Simmons officiating. The family will receive friends from 2:00 – 3:45 p.m. prior to the service at the church.
