    Daniel Milton Lotz was born Flushing, New York, on March 30, 1937 to John and Adeline Lotz. He claimed Jesus Christ as his Savior at the age of five during Vacation Bible School. When his father challenged him at the age of 15 following a meeting at the Bowery Mission in lower Manhattan to seek first the Kingdom of God and all the other things in his life would fall into place. Danny surrendered his life to Jesus Christ as his Lord. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 This was published in The News and Observer on Aug. 30, 2015 The husband of Billy Graham's daughter, Ann Graham Lotz, died Wednesday after he was found unresponsive Monday in a back-yard pool at the couple's Raleigh house. Ann Lotz confirmed in a Facebook posting that Danny Lotz, 78, a retired dentist and her husband of 49 years, died in Rex Hospital shortly before noon where he was taken after she found him unresponsive in their pool Monday afternoon. A statement from the Lotz family said his heart stopped while he was swimming. Emergency responders were able to restart his heart before taking him to Rex, the statement said. He was surrounded by family when he died. In her Facebook posting, Lotz, a Raleigh-based evangelist, said her husband was diagnosed with severe Adult 1 diabetes when he was 50 and had received dialysis for more than 10 years. She wrote that he lost sight in one eye and hearing in one ear. He had heart disease that required five stents in his arteries. "Yet he never complained, never slowed down, never gave up, never stopped investing in the lives of others," she wrote. "As a New Yorker, he was pained spoken. As a German he was stubborn. As a Christian he was a compassionate servant leader. At 6-foot-7, Danny Lotz was a sophomore forward on the 1957 basketball team at UNC Chapel Hill that was unbeaten and won the national championship. He'd been involved nationally with the fellowship of Christian Athletes. His alma mater sent a statement Wednesday that Lotz and his teammates "permanently etched their names in the history books as members of the undefeated 1957 national champions, but his position impact on people went far beyond basketball." The university called Lotz a "true gentleman and beloved member of the Tar Heel family." In a surprise ceremony in February, Lotz was given the order of the Long Leaf Pine, which recognizes outstanding North Carolinians for their lifetime of service to the state.
