Loren was born on August 24, 1939, to Ervin and Adeline (Behm) Yungk in Atwater, MN. After graduating from High School, Loren enlisted in the United States Navy where he served for 4 years. As Seaman 2nd Class Mechanic, he fueled planes and jets on the aircraft carrier Bon Homme Richard.  He was married to Lois Schultz Yungk for 17 years.  After his honorable discharge, Loren farmed 50 years in Atwater, MN.
