Adolfo G. Lopez, 69, passed away Sunday, September 15, 2024 at Box Butte General Hospital.
He was born August 4, 1955 in Raymondville, Texas to Demetrio and Ignacia (Gonzalez) Lopez.
Adolfo was the strongest man many of us knew. In his early years he enjoyed agricultural work which led him to move around several states. One state in particular, Nebraska, is where he met the love of his life in Alliance. He and Josefa Garza were married on December 11, 1977 in Ramones County, N.L., Mexico.
Anyone who knew Adolfo knew he had a huge heart and a joke to tell. He enjoyed cruising the town in his chair with a smile on his face. He loved meeting new people, sharing his testimony with them, and attending church on Sundays.
Adolfo loved being with his family on any occasion, especially one with his daughter Josie’s cooking. He enjoyed relaxing and listening to the bible in the evenings, along with listening to his daughter Maruka play the guitar. He had a huge heart and loved being with his kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He always looked forward to weekend calls with his sisters. For these reasons and many more, he will be greatly missed, always in our hearts and never forgotten.
He is survived by his children, Demetrio “Tito” (Sulamit) Lopez, Josefa “Josie” (Jose) Garza, Adolfo “Junior” (Lucero) Lopez, Belinda (Bobby) Garza, Emmanuel (Renae) Lopez, Dionicia “Denise” (Raul) Gomez, and Maruka Lopez, all of Alliance; 19 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters, Sofia (Daniel) Rubio of Alamo, TX and Alicia (Saul) Martinez of Othello, WA; his father-in-law, Rev. Dionicio Garza, Sr. of Nuevo Leon, Mexico; his brothers and sisters-in-law, and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, his daughter, Maria Lopez, 4 brothers and 3 sisters.
