Jacob Lopez, age 32 of Goodyear, AZ died July 15, 2019, in Goodyear, AZ. He was born December 25, 1986, in Oakland, CA to Armando Mendoza and Silvia Hernandez. He grew up in Auburn, WA and graduated high school from Auburn High School. He moved to Arizona 10 years ago and stayed to be near his daughter, Lovey.
Jacob lived life the way that he chose to. Independent and strong, he rose above the many challenges he faced with unwavering joy. He loved to laugh and used his sense of humor to brighten the day of those around him. He loved to dance and have a good time. He was usually the first to suggest fun activities for his friends and family to participate in. He was an excellent cook and could make anything, a useful skill since he enjoyed eating as well as cooking.
Always respectful and never judgmental, Jacob made friends with everyone he met. His fondness for his friends often led him to check on them to see how they were doing. Frequently those calls came in the middle of the night, but his love and concern for them always came through. Jacob’s unending happiness and compassion for others, even while confronting his daily trials, made him an inspiration to all who knew him from the state of Washington to Mexico.
Jacob is survived by his daughter, Lovey Marie Lopez; parents, Silvia Hernandez and Armando Mendoza; and brother, Miguel Mendoza. A funeral service will be held at 5:00 pm, Saturday, July 27, 2019, at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338.
