Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

Dana F. "Skip" Lord passed away on Jan. 12, 2021 in Lake Havasu City.
Skip was born in Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania in 1942. After college, he
worked in all areas of heavy construction, building roads, dams and
bridge all over the country. His work brought his family to Lake
Havasu City in 1979, when he was the project manager building the
pumping station for the Central Arizona Project at the south end of
Lake Havasu.

Skip enjoyed all things outdoors. He loved his rock crawlers, "Mr.
Blue", and explored every inch of desert around Havasu. Summertime you
would find him floating in his raft, fishing his favorite rivers in
Montana.

Skip is preceded in death by his parents, Freas "Buck" and Margaret
"Peg" Lord, his second wife and soulmate, Barbara Lord, his final life
partner, Delores Selby, and stepdaughter, Vianna Thompson.

He is survived by his wife, and mother of his three children, Marian
Lord, his daughter Wendy (Greg) Befort, Sons, Dana (Christine) Lord,
Donald (Lisa) Lord, stepdaughter, Lori Anter, a brother, Al (Genie)
Lord and sister, Susan McMahon. Skip was also blessed with 10
grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and
nephews.

As was his wish, there will be no services. A private celebration of
life will be held this summer.

Arrangements were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and
Crematory and Memorials may be sent to the funeral home.
