August 19, 2015

Billy Graham‘s son-in-law Danny Lotz, the husband of the evangelist daughter Anne was found unconscious in the swimming pool of their Raleigh home on Monday and has been taken to intensive care.

Lotz, 78, who is married to Billy Graham‘s daughter Anne, was reportedly treated by the side of the swimming pool at his home, North Carolina. Lotz was discovered unresponsive at 3.45 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Anne Graham Lotz posted an update via Facebook on Monday saying:

“He is currently in a hospital ICU receiving excellent care. There are no answers yet as to the outcome. The family is standing firm in faith, trusting Jesus. Thank you for your prayers.”

She followed up with a Tuesday update that read:

Thank you for your prayers as we walk through this valley of the shadow. Danny is holding his own. The next twenty-four hours are critical and should give us some answers. …

This I call to mind and therefore I have hope; Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning… Lamentations 3:21-23

God’s faithfulness is great. We rest in His love and sovereign will.

Trusting Jesus,
Anne and family

Lotz reportedly suffered from chronic health issues, including seizures due to diabetes. It is not yet known why he collapsed, or whether his existing health problems contributed to the collapse.

Our prayers are with the family and Danny Lotz.
