Michael Lopez Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 18, 2025.
Michael Lopez, 39, passed away on October 4, 2022, in San Antonio, Texas. Born on May 25, 1983, in Chicago, Illinois, Michael lived a life marked by service, love, and dedication.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Michael served two tours in the Persian Gulf and Iraq. His commitment to his country was unwavering, and his time in the military reflected his courage and sense of duty. Those who knew him remember a man who gave selflessly and stood strong in the face of adversity.

Michael is lovingly remembered by his mother, Margaret Johnson; his brother, Robert Lopez; and his daughter, Nevaeh Lopez. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Eugene and Rose Johnson.

Michael was known for being a very loving and caring young man. His warmth touched many lives, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

May his memory bring comfort to those who mourn his passing and serve as a lasting reminder of a life lived with honor and heart.

Michael,
You were my firstborn - my beautiful baby boy. From the moment I held you in my arms, I knew you were something special. You grew into such a handsome young man, full of life, charm, and that unmistakable spark. You had a way of lighting up any room you walked into, always making people laugh with your quick wit and great sense of humor.

You chose a brave path when you enlisted in the Army. I remember watching you head off to boot camp, knowing it was just the beginning of a difficult and courageous journey. Then came deployment - a foreign land, a war far from home. Every night, I prayed for your safety, for your strength, for your return.

Mike, I am so incredibly proud of you. Your strength, your heart, your sacrifice - it all meant the world. I miss you more than words can ever truly say. My heart aches in your absence, broken in ways I can´t explain. But I hold onto every memory, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my son, I love you Mom

Michael, I remember you calling Grandma from Chicago, while she was in hospice and saying goodbye to her. I know she heard what you said. Thankyou for that. She loved you very much. Now, I wish I could've had a chance to say goodbye to you. Again, I love you very much. I hope you look for grandma, I'm sure she's waiting for you!
Love you,
Aunt Jeanne
