On July 25, 2024, Kristopher David Lozeau was suddenly lost to all who loved him. Born August 22, 1985 in Nashua New Hampshire to David and Donnalee Lozeau, Kris grew up in Nashua and graduated in 2003 from Nashua High School. He was proud to be one of the key “filmmakers” of their Senior Video. He headed off to Keene State College with plans to become a filmmaker but after his first year changed direction, graduating in five years with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and History along with a Master’s degree in Education.

As the youngest instructor at the Independent Karate School (IKS) in Nashua, he discovered early that at heart he was a teacher. He earned a third-degree black belt in Karate at IKS in the spring of 2001 and achieved his brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Triumph under John Fain in Nashua in January of 2022.

As a student teacher, Kris taught at the Compass School in Vermont where he learned the positives of project-based learning and how it could bring history alive for his students. He taught middle school in public schools in Hudson and Milford, along with being an assistant wrestling coach with Joe Faucher for many years – and was so proud that his last season as coach his team were the Tri-County Champions.

In 2015 he joined the middle school team as a Social Studies Teacher at Innovation Academy Charter School (IACS) in Tyngsborough Massachusetts, which returned him to his first teaching passion, project-based learning. Kris enjoyed teaching middle school and excelled at instilling in his students a love of learning, questioning, and independent thinking in order to understand not just the past but the world around them.

Kris was a voracious reader and loved historic novels, comics, graphic novels, sci-fi, fantasy, anything by Carl Sagan, followed closely by movies and video games in the same genres. He had a vast imagination, which was the foundation of his lifelong love of role-playing games and project-based learning. He was proficient in archery from a very young age, and enjoyed hiking and foraging – plus he was a superb cook.

The absolute greatest joy of his life was becoming a father. The sun rose and set on his daughter Natalie. Any time they spent together, usually involving snuggles and adventures, brought him unmatched happiness. He taught her to love and be kind, and to treat others with fairness. He loved her with all his heart, and showed her every day how proud he was of her.

Kris was pre-deceased by his paternal grandparents Ernest and Marjorie Lozeau, his maternal grandmother Evelyn Burton. Along with his parents, he is survived by his wife Molly Lozeau and his precious daughter Natalie, age 8.  He is also survived by his siblings, sister Jaime Arbogast and brother Spencer (Amanda) Lozeau, his nieces Peyton and Teagan Arbogast and Addison Lozeau, along with his grandfather Wallace Burton.

Kris will be forever loved, missed and remembered.  He will be laid to rest in St Louis cemetery in Nashua during a private ceremony.
