Angelo Andres Lopez

Angelo Andres Lopez was a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, and friend whose ambition, kindness, and genuine spirit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Born in Fontana, California, Angelo approached life head-on, always looking toward the future and pursuing the things he believed were possible. He was funny, thoughtful, headstrong, and driven, with a natural ability to make friends wherever he went.

Angelo believed in working hard, remaining loyal to those who stood beside him, and never forgetting the people who helped him along the way. As he would say, "You eat with the people you starved with." His ambitions extended beyond personal success. He dreamed of building a prosperous future for his family, creating opportunities for those he loved, and experiencing the richness of life beyond what money could buy.

A high school graduate, Angelo continued his education through Riverside City College and completed the Digital Marketing Boot Camp through UC Berkeley Extension in 2024. He built a career at SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, where his professionalism, work ethic, and ability to help customers understand their finances earned him the respect and appreciation of coworkers and customers alike. He was excited about the opportunities ahead and the difference he could make.

Outside of work, Angelo enjoyed tennis, hiking, photography, gaming, and cars. He loved spending time with friends, making memories, experiencing all that life had to offer, and unwinding with his favorite shows and movies. His all time favorite shows were Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He enjoyed attending Cars & Coffee events, admiring supercars, and personalizing his beloved Lexus IS200t. A musician at heart, he participated in marching band and drumline during high school. He appreciated both the excitement of new experiences and the quiet beauty of a scenic landscape.

One of Angelo's greatest ambitions was Another Perspective (AP), a philosophy and vision centered on empathy, understanding, and human connection. He wanted to travel, meet people from all walks of life, and share their stories through photography, videography, and digital storytelling. He believed every person had a perspective worth understanding and a story worth hearing. Through AP, he hoped to encourage people to look beyond their assumptions, recognize their shared humanity, and see the world through someone else's eyes.

To his family, Angelo was much more than his accomplishments or ambitions. He was a source of laughter, encouragement, and companionship. As his older brother, I will forever cherish our late night trips to Circle K, our countless conversations, and the time we spent playing tennis together. It was often the simplest moments that meant the most. I was proud of Angelo for everything: his accomplishments, his growth, his compassion, and the person he was becoming. His presence was always enough.

Angelo is survived by his parents, Felipe De Jesus Lopez and Marybell Lopez; his brothers, Alexis Angel Lopez, Marcos Felipe Lopez, and Mateo Manuel Lopez; and his extended family,

friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He will be remembered for his determination, his generous heart, and his desire to make the most of the life he was given.

Angelo often reminded us, "Do it or don't, time will pass anyways." His life reminds us to pursue our ambitions, cherish the people beside us, and never stop experiencing all that life has to offer.

Angelo, you will always be my little brother. I will forever be proud of you, and I will carry your love, your lessons, and your vision with me for the rest of my life.
