David Lopez Obituary
In Loving Memory of David Lopez
April 14, 1960 – June 23, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Lopez, a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend, who departed this life on June 23, 2025, at the age of 65. David attended Bel Air High School and proudly served in the United States Coast Guard.
Born on April 14, 1960, David lived a life full of warmth, strength, and unwavering love for his family. Known affectionately as “Cheerios” to those closest to him and “Coco” to his grandchildren, David will be remembered for his kind heart, his generous spirit, his humor, and the way he always put family first.
David is survived by his devoted wife Patricia Lopez, and his loving sons: David Augustin Lopez (Claudia), Adrian Lopez (Brittney), Matt Lopez (Cindy), and Vince Lopez (Naomi). He was the proud grandfather of 11 grandchildren, each of whom brought immense joy to his life, as well as, several nieces and nephews.
He is also survived by his siblings: Daniel Lopez (Kathy), Luis Lopez Jr. (Araceli), Linda Saldaña (Lico), Debra Tellez, Richard Lopez, Mary Helen Tellez (Hector), and Gloria Lopez -all of whom shared in a bond of deep family connection and enduring love.
David is preceded in death by his parents Luis and Helen Lopez and his brother John Espinoza.

“What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller
David’s legacy of love, faith, and compassion lives on through his family and all who knew him.
