Nick passed on February 15, 2021 from the effects of Alzheimer's. He is survived by wife Judy and three stepchildren whom he loved, Curtis Johnston, Peggy Frizzo (John), and Dianna Pelleberg (Russ). Nick is also survived by four grandchildren whom he adored, Emily Johnston, Tyler Johnston, Alyssa Frizzo and Emma Frizzo.

Also surviving him is a brother Jim Lorentz (Olivia), three nieces, Carlene Mitchell (Todd), Jayme Morrison (Todd), Michelle Sant (Matt) and one nephew Sean Gibson (Daphne), with whom he was very close.

Nick was preceded in death by his parents, Bonnie Rector (Harry) and George Lorentz, and two sisters, Roseanne and Donna, and a grand nephew Brent.

Many beloved dogs preceded him as well.

As was Nick's wish, our family will celebrate his life this summer by sharing funny, caring and special memories of our lives with him.
