Gustavo Lopez Obituary

GUSTAVO LOPEZ, JR., born on April 17, 1984 went to rest in eternal peace with our Lord on October 3, 2009. He was a dedicated loving father, son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend.

Gustavo enjoyed spending time with his children and family. He was an aircraft mechanic at El Paso Jet and was an extremely hard worker. He also loved riding his bike and fixing up his "toys".

Son it's been close to 10 years since the Lord took tyou to his home in heaven . Remember I'll always love you son, remember as you hold this card in your hands and read these words, that I'll hold you in a very precious place in my heart not just on Valentine's Day but as long as there are stars in the sky remember that if I could I would give you the moon and the sun and reach out for all the smiles and memories you've given me . and remember that when I say I love you I want you to know what those words Really mean. I love you means that you're the most wonderful son there could ever be. It means that you have made me more proud of you than you could ever begin to imagine, and it means that I really never let a day go by without feeling blessed by the giving of a gift like you. You have given me so much to look forward to and so much to look back upon and remember son you'll always be my valentine my best Christmas present and my Thanksgiving treasure all rolled into one. HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TO YOU SON. LOVE MOM❤❤ I love you to the moon and back and to infinity and beyond January 15 2019

Forever in our hearts and THOUGHTS. Every time I pass by your work I still remember dropping you off lunch. I still Hear your laugh echo in my mind every once in a while. It's weird how even after so many years I can still feel your essence. I wish you were still here. How things would be so different for everyone who was lucky enough to encounter your light.

For ever in our hearts
