Lauren D. Epp, age 69, of Bradshaw, died Thursday, May 28, 2026. He was born on February 12, 1957, to Alvin G. and Leona (Friesen) Epp in Henderson, NE. On June 19, 2004, he was united in marriage to Barbara Epp on the family farmstead near Henderson.
Lauren farmed in his early years before becoming an owner-operator of his truck driving business, Y Four Transport, Inc. He was an avid fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Atlanta Braves, and Kansas City Chiefs. He also loved SpongeBob SquarePants, Cadillacs, and John Deere tractors. He enjoyed camping, sports, flying model airplanes, and watching his cooking and Road Warriors truck shows.
Lauren loved trapshooting in his prime, where he competed and helped coach kids in the sport. He was always down to have a good time and loved to talk; he never met a stranger. He loved his family deeply and was always excited to be around them. Lauren loved his grandkids and was the best grandpa, enjoying attending all of their events.
He is survived by his wife Barbara Epp, daughter Misty (Jim) Reimers of Lincoln, NE, sons Jesse Wilber of Big Springs, NE, and Monte (Bia) Wilber of Lincoln, grandkids Alexis, Kiko, Colton, Elena, Zoey, and Jason, and one brother and one sister.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters.
A private graveside service will be held at the Bethesda Mennonite Cemetery northeast of Henderson. Visitation will be held at the mortuary in York from 1–8 p.m. on Sunday. Memorials may be directed to the family for later designation.
