It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jose "Joe" D. Lopez, who left us on November 20, 2025, at the age of 69.
Joe was a man of many interests and passions. He loved spending his free time fishing, collecting coins, and appreciated old muscle cars. His hobbies reflected a man who appreciated the beauty of life, whether it was in the serene waters of his favorite fishing spot or in the classic lines of a vintage car.
Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, Joe always cared deeply for his children, instilling in them the values of hard work, kindness, and forgiveness. His strong will and unwavering support made a lasting impact on all who knew him.
Joe was known for his open heart and nonjudgmental nature. He had an incredible ability to forgive and love unconditionally, touching the lives of those around him. Friends and family alike admired his willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
Cremation was selected and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
Rest in peace, Joe D. Lopez. Your spirit will be forever cherished by all who loved you.
