He was a beloved uncle to his nieces and nephews and will be missed by many extended family members who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Leo Field, who he cherished throughout his life. Their memories remained with him, guiding him as he navigated his own journey.

Laren Don Field’s legacy of love, dedication, and faith will forever be remembered by those who knew him. He will be missed dearly, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
