HGTV‘s House Party cohost, Loren Ruch breathed his last at age 55.
The TV personality who served as HGTV‘s head of content died on Thursday, June 12, via Variety.

The chair of Warner Bros. Television Group, Channing Dungey, sent a memo to the outlet remembering Loren “for his unwavering dedication, endless kindness, and unshakeable integrity.”
