George will be remembered as a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and friend. George was a big teddy bear of a man, full of life and had a big, infectious laugh. He loved being around people. His love for others is shown by his donation of his organs so that others might continue to live.
George graduated from Central High School in San Angelo and went to work for Barry for 15 years. It was there that he met the love of his life and soulmate, Mary.
From there he continued with SAISD.
George was known for his cooking, especially his famous guacamole. I guarantee he will have a big bowl waiting for us when we get to Heaven! He was also known for his delicious caldo and famous grape delight.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Aaron Lopez, paternal grandparents Antonio and Lala Lopez and maternal grandparents Juan and Benigna Trevino, whom he adored.

“The moment you left me, my heart was split in two, one side was filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy. I do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, you see life has gone on without you, but will never be the same.” Author unknown
