Lutz Juergen Kethler

Lutz Juergen Kethler
was born
and raised in
the town of
Braunlage
- which lies
within the
Harz moun-
tain range
Lutz
Kethler
in Lower
Saxony, Ger-
many. During this period
of his life, Lutz honed his
athletic ability and compet-
itive personality to become
a champion ski jumper and
tennis player.
In 1955 Lutz made the
journey to Ellis Island to
pursue his life-long dream
of becoming a U.S. Citi-
zen. During his lifetime,
he served in both the U.S.

National Guard.
In 1962 he was accepted
to UC Davis, where he
played tennis and in 1966
earned his Bachelors of
Science degree – Majoring

ing high school science
for nearly a decade, he
changed careers and in
1977 earned his Doctor

Always up for an adven-
ture, Lutz’s enthusiasm
for volunteering, exotic

cine and travel took him
to multiple continents for
various wildlife research
projects.
Lutz’s passions in-
cluded: his trees, watching
movies, the opera, pastries
and always being on-the-
go. The happiest times
were when he was with

friends he made throughout
his very full life. DaDa,
your love will be in our
