Obituary of Eric Lopez

In loving memory of the greatest husband, father, son, cousin, brother, uncle, friend, and grandfather we could have ever asked for. Eric Lopez was born in Salamanca Guanajuato Mexico and learned that life was hard and he had to fight to be something special. He left his home at a young age to have a better life and met his wife along the way. They had 4 beautiful children that lead to 9 grandchildren that were his whole world. He was always worried about giving his all and best to his family, working hard everyday of his life so we could have everything we needed. He rarely got time for himself and his wife would always tell him he needed time off. She wanted to travel with him and see the ocean and he wanted to see the Grand Canyon. He finally went on vacation for the first and last time with his wife after almost 34 years of marriage. They traveled to several different states on their trip and he told her “you said you wanted to the the ocean and I brought you to one of the best ones, you wanted to go to a casino and I took you to Vegas, I wanted to see the Grand Canyon and drive on Route 66 and it finally happened now I can die knowing we did what we always wanted to.” She told him he was crazy but we believe he knew what God had planned for him. One week later he fell ill and after fighting for 2 months he passed on the 28th of August 2020. We will always remember him for his love of music and his beautiful voice. He never let us be sad he would always have the best jokes to make us laugh and told us how much he loved us everyday. In honor of his memory we will keep fighting on through these hard times. We will also be holding a viewing from 4:00pm - 9:00pm on Saturday, September 5, 2020 and from 6:00pm - 9:00pm on Sunday, September 6, 2020 at Merit Memorial Funeral and Cremation Care, 12801 N. Stemmons Freeway #803 Farmers Branch, Texas, United States 75234. We thank you for all the laughs and happy moments we had we will always and forever love you!
