Richard Lopez Obituary
Richard D. Lopez passed away August 17, 2025.
Richard was preceded in death by his son, Michael Richard Lopez, mother, Pauline Galvan Lopez, father, Pete Sanchez Lopez and brothers, Robert G. Lopez and Samuel G. Lopez.
Richard is survived by his daughters: Stephanie, April, Heather, and Crystal; grandchildren: Daniel, Michael, Lilith, Isabella, Sophia, Liberty, Bailey and Lexi; brothers, Thomas G. Lopez and Joseph A Lopez; sisters, Susan A. Lopez and Irene M. Dowling; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Richard was a lot of things to a lot of people; a loving father, grandfather, brother, and a devoted friend. He lived his life at full volume, always ready to sing. While his voice may not have graced a stage, his spirit certainly did. Richard loved a good western and living a carefree life.
