Jacob Ryan Lopez

Jacob was a light that shined everywhere he went. His smile could melt your heart, and his presence brought warmth and joy to everyone around him. Jacob had a strong faith in God, loved his family deeply, and lived his life with a big heart and free spirit.

Jacob found happiness outdoors, spending time at Zilker Park, being at the beach, or tubing down the river, simply enjoying the sunshine, He took pride in washing his beloved truck, listening to his favorite music, and making memories with the people he loved. Jacob also deeply loved his precious Sissy, she was the apple of his eye, she brought him so much joy and unconditional love.

Jacob’s laughter and energy was unforgettable, and we will miss him dearly.

He is proceeded in death by his beloved Juanita “MOMO”, Lopez (Grandmother),

Lopez; his step mother, Valerie Trevino; his big brother, Joe Armando Lopez; his little brother, Joshua David Lopez; his grandfather, Joe B.
