Joseph Nathaniel Lott Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 7, 2026, at the age of 75, Joseph Nathaniel Lott of Arlington, Virginia passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Joseph Nathaniel Lott to pay them a last tribute.

As Joseph departs from our midst, his spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Joseph. Though Joseph may no longer walk beside us, his legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

He is survived by: his wife Deborah Leonhart Lott; his daughters, Kathleen Devon Lott Smith (Ryan Smith), Samantha Marion Lott Smith and Alyssa Josephine Lott (Tom Reed); and his grandchildren, Courtney Smith, Tyler Smith, Nathaniel Smith and Elise Smith.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Arlington Rotary Foundation Educational Foundation, in keeping with Joe's lifelong commitment to service and education.

Joyce Fitzpatrick wrote a sympathy message

“Oh Deb, how very sorry I am for the loss of your soulmate Joe. It's hard for us to receive this sudden news so I cannot imagine what life must be for you since Joe's passing.. I've spoken with Pat Overstreet several times in the past days so I can keep up with news from Z and Jesse. I love the photo of Joe posted below with the girls...as I now say, "back in the day." Please let me know when a Memorial Service is planned; I want to attend. With lots of love and fond memories, Joyce”
