Charles A. Lozada

Charles A. Lozada, 84, was born on November 5, 1942, in San Luis Potosi, SLP Mexico, and died on November 12, 2026, at the Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ. At the age of 8, Charles came to the United States. He and his family lived in Linden, NJ, and later Rutherford, NJ, before moving to Toms River, NJ.

Charles was a self-employed graphic artist whose work reflected a steady creativity and an artistic eye for design. He was also the inventor of the Lozada Designer Pen, a contribution that spoke to his thoughtful approach to craft and the details that make creative work endure.

He served as Past President of the Society of Scribes, a role that recognized both his dedication to his field and the care he brought to the community around it. Charles was also a voracious collector of musical instruments, records, fashion, cologne, and various items—interests that reflected an enduring appreciation for style, sound, and the many forms creativity can take.

Charles is survived by his daughter, Maria V. Lorentzen (Robert); his sister, Martha E. Lozada; his granddaughters, Kristen D. Lorentzen and Bethany K. Lorentzen (Bryan Chatlien); and his long term partner, Barbara Vitiello. He was predeceased by his sister, Angelica E. Lozada, and his nephew, Bertrand Marks.

His memorial service will be conducted in the Pinelands Reformed Church of Toms River, NJ on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.
