Edwardo Lopez Obituary
1931 - 2015
Edwardo S. (Eddie) Lopez, a loving husband, father, grandfather, great- grandfather, brother, and uncle passed away on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 after a long illness.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Cecilia Lopez; his daughters Elizabeth Gallegos and his son-in-law Ernest, Roxanne Sanchez (John); grandchildren Brandy Lowe (James), Tony Lopez (Alberto), Melissa Villalobos, Donald Villalobos (Vanessa), Amanda Sanchez and Angie Sanchez; his great-grandchildren Maria Payan, Nicole Campos and Xavier Salazar. He is also survived by his sisters Margaret Chavez, Josephine Chavez (Manuel), and Bea Lovato (Mel), and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his son Jerry Edward Lopez; brothers Filo and John Lopez; and his sister Terrie Dezlan.
Eddie was a veteran of the Korean War. He was employed at Greyhound for 44 years. After his retirement he began a second career at the Pajarito Cemetery from 1996 until May 20th, as the President, a job he took great pride in. Eddie was a man of many talents-no task was ever too difficult. His heart was big, and he never let anyone down, always ready to lend a hand.
All services for Eddie will take place at Ascension Parish, 2150 Raymac Rd SW beginning with a Viewing on Friday, May 29, 2015 at 6:00 PM with a Rosary to be recited by Deacon Leon Jones at 7:00 PM.
