Toran worked for many years in Colorado as an X-Ray technician for a petroleum company.  He was still learning the ropes of being a dad, and very much loved his children deeply.  He was an approachable guy and people liked him especially children.  Toran was a carefree and loving person who enjoyed a good fishing trip in Michigan with his brother whenever he could.  He struggled with his own demons throughout his life and always tried to keep a good connection in his heart with his faith.  He worked on keeping that fire ignited by attending Warsaw Community Church when he was able to and being baptized at Liberty Mills River in the spring of 2022.  While he was unable to overcome all of his battles with addiction, he was a fierce and persistent fighter who lived every day of his life as fully as he could.  Toran may have stumbled on his journey, but his family and friends were always there to love him back.
