Lorn and his three siblings lived in a broken home, which was bad enough, but his Mother was very sick with Thrombophlebitis, which caused her to have a stroke, leaving her paralyzed on one side of her body. At eleven years of age, Lorn would sell newspapers on the streets of downtown Flint to make money, and since he didn't have much parental supervision, he practically raised himself.
