Robert Lopez Obituary

Visit the Charles W. Smith & Sons Funeral Home - McKinney website to view the full obituary.

With deep love and cherished memories, we gather to celebrate the life of Bob Lopez, who passed away on November 28th, 2025. Born on May 6th, 1947, Bob brought joy, showed kindness, and inspiration to all who knew him. Today, we honor his legacy and the profound impact he made throughout his journey. 

He served his country honorably in the United States Army, demonstrating his commitment and dedication. In 1970, he married Claire, and together they built a life centered around their family. Family meant everything to him. Bob was known for his great personality and bringing his sense of humor & laughter, which brightened the lives of many. He extended kindness to all, especially to those in need, and never regarded anyone as a stranger. His warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone he met. 

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Claire Lopez. He leaves behind his children: his son, Bobby Lopez, and his wife, Jennifer Lopez; his daughter, Amanda Grindel, and her husband, Gus Grindel. Bob was a proud and devoted grandfather to Harrison, Evan, Adison, and Jordan. His grandchildren were the highlight of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. Saturday morning trips to the donut store became a beloved ritual during their early years together.

 He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness that will live on in the hearts of his family and all who knew him. His memory will continue to inspire and uplift those whose lives he touched
