Luis Manuel Lopez, de 29 años, de Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, falleció el lunes 1 de septiembre de 2025.

Luis nació el 26 de julio de 1996 en Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, hijo de su madre, Manuela De Loera De Lopez, y de su padre, Domingo Lopez Garcia. Llegó a la familia como el hermano menor, el querido hermanito de sus hermanas, Marisol y Anamaría.

Desde muy pequeño, Luis tuvo el don de hacer sonreír a las personas. En fotos familiares, presentaciones escolares o en momentos cotidianos, le encantaba destacar y llevar alegría a quienes lo rodeaban. Su lealtad y bondad eran inquebrantables—siempre era el primero en ofrecer una mano amiga.

De niño, a Luis le gustaba disfrazarse de superhéroe, y al crecer llevó ese mismo espíritu heroico a la vida real. En un viaje familiar presenció un accidente de motocicleta y corrió inmediatamente a ayudar a los heridos, reflejando así su corazón valiente y compasivo. Hay innumerables historias sobre sus actos de bondad y lealtad. Era la personificación de la generosidad y siempre será recordado por ello.

La música fue una de las más grandes pasiones de Luis. Disfrutaba crear música, cantar y tocar la guitarra, y también le encantaba enseñar a su sobrino Joaquín a tocar. Tenía aspiraciones musicales y su familia desea que hubiera tenido la oportunidad de alcanzarlas. Grababa su música con mucha pasión, y su familia ora para que esas grabaciones puedan recuperarse y así volver a sentirse cerca de él a través de su hermosa voz.

Luis también disfrutaba ir al gimnasio con amigos y familiares y dar paseos al parque con su padre, Domingo. Le encantaba jugar y ver deportes como el fútbol americano, la UFC y el fútbol con sus seres queridos. Dedicaba su tiempo a mantenerse saludable. Uno de los momentos más destacados de su vida fue correr el 23º Maratón Conmemorativo de la Ciudad de Oklahoma el 30 de abril de 2023, con su madre, Manuela, animándolo con orgullo. Conservaba con gran orgullo la medalla de ese maratón entre sus pertenencias, la cual ahora queda con su familia como recuerdo de sus logros.

Adoraba a su madre, Manuela, y siempre le daba su bendición antes de despedirse de ella. Luis siempre estaba presente en los momentos especiales de la vida de sus seres queridos. Acompañaba los juegos, graduaciones, fiestas de cumpleaños y reuniones familiares. Le encantaba pasar tiempo de calidad con sus amigos y su familia. Tuvo el honor de ser parte de la boda de su primo, Emmanuel Hernandez, poco antes de su partida, y atesoró ese momento por siempre en su corazón. Luis amaba profundamente a su familia y lo demostraba de innumerables maneras, poniéndola siempre en el centro de su vida. Su ausencia se siente en cada parte de la vida de sus seres queridos, un recordatorio constante del amor que compartieron y del hombre irreemplazable que fue.

Luis deja en vida a sus padres, Manuela De Loera De Lopez y Domingo Lopez García; sus hermanas, Marisol Lopez y Anamaría Garcia; su cuñado, Damian Garcia; y sus sobrinos y sobrinas, Joaquin Garcia, Melannie Garcia, Elena Garcia y Xochitl Orozco.

Luis siempre será recordado como un hijo devoto, hermanito, primo, tío, novio y amigo. Su amor, su risa y su luz vivirán para siempre en los corazones de quienes lo conocieron.

Nunca olivadaremos Luis y el gran hombre que era.
