Danalea "Dana" Lopez
August 19, 2004 – December 20, 2025
Danalea "Dana" Lopez is forever 21 years young. Born on August 19, 2004, in Dallas, Texas, Dana's life-though far too short-shines brightly through the countless hearts she touched. Her presence is radiant, unforgettable, and deeply felt by all who were lucky enough to know her.
Dana carries on through her loving family: her parents, Alfonso and Deborah; her brothers, Mimo and Mateo; her sister, Dean; her sister-in-law, Valeria; and her beloved baby Rambo. Her bond with her family is deep and unwavering, especially with her father-her "Pa"-who adores her wholeheartedly and lovingly calls her his "shorty."
Dana lives unapologetically as herself. She moves through life with confidence, humor, and authenticity, building a community that loves her fiercely. A true computer whiz, Dana is in her element whether she's staying up until 3 a.m. playing Valorant-proudly reaching the rank of Ascendant-laughing with friends while playing Roblox, or pursuing her degree in Computer Science at Texas Wesleyan University. Technology isn't just something she studies; it's part of who she is.
Her love for all things Sanrio-especially Hello Kitty and My Melody-is pure joy, and her childhood obsession with Strawberry Shortcake still brings smiles to those who remember it. Dana's love for Cloud Rap perfectly mirrors her mood, her humor, and her unique sense of style. Artists like 2Hollis, Bladee, and Jane Remover echo her individuality and creative spirit.
Dana is the definition of beautiful in every sense. She expresses it through her many hobbies, her sarcastic yet charismatic personality, and her laugh and smile that fill a room and lift spirits on even the hardest days. Her energy is contagious. Her presence is comforting. Her love is enduring.
Though Dana is not seen, she is deeply felt. She lives on in shared memories, inside jokes, late-night conversations, favorite songs, and all the little moments that remind us of her. Her spirit continues to guide, comfort, and inspire everyone who holds her close in their heart.
Waiting to welcome her with open arms are her abuelos, Alfonso and Mario, and her Tío Johnny, who now care for her with the same love she always knew.
Dana graces this world simply by existing-and she continues to be remembered, loved, and cherished by the community she built and the lives she forever changed.
