Daniel (Dan) Nuelsen Lotz, 90, went to be with the Lord on Sept. 7, 2011, in Prescott, Ariz. He was born in Hamilton, Ohio, to Ernest G. Lotz and Ruth (Pfund) Lotz.
In 1942, he graduated from Springfield College in Massachusetts, where he was the captain of the swimming team and an All-American during his junior year. Upon graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy and served four years, attaining the rank of lieutenant. Most of his time served was in the Pacific.
After his service to his country, he married Marion (Bebe) Skinner. They had one child, David N. Lotz. They lived many years in Tucson as owners of Desert House Tile and Pottery. Being Christians and desiring to serve their Savior, they traveled the U.S. for Christian Women's Club with a pottery demonstration and personal testimony called "Formed of Clay." Dan also served with the Bible Way Mission in Tucson.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Prescott for 38 years.
Dan started swimming at the age of eight and swam at Yavapai College until two months before his passing.
Dan would always say how God had blessed him. These blessings continued with his marriage to Joan Lowry in 2006. The friendships he cultivated through his life remained very important to him.
Dan was preceded in death by his first wife Marion (2001) and his son David (2011). He is survived by his loving wife, Joan; stepchildren Robert (Jill) Lowry, Robin Minton and Randall (Maria) Lowry; and six step-grandchildren.
