He grew up in Northside and attended Jeff Davis High School and in 1958 became a life-long Marine. Married to his loving wife, Carmen Marie Lopez for 56 years, they raised four boys and a girl. He enjoyed good conversation and had a wonderful sense of humor. He believed and often said his appreciation for those he loved and life’s simple pleasures like a good T-bone, conversational debate, or birds in trees made him the richest man. He truly enjoyed 40 years of being a truck driver and retired as a member of IBT Local 988.
He is survived by his loving wife Carmen Marie Lopez, son Richard Zepeda (wife-Patrica), daughter Ezette Garza (Florencio), son John Jesse Lopez Jr. (wife-Margie), son Nick Lopez (wife-Norma), son Benjamin Lopez (wife-Deborah), 15 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, sister Carmen Cervantes, sister Cruz Ramon (husband-Roy), sister Rosario Camarillo and a battalion of other loved ones.
A graveside service will be held Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at Brookside Memorial Park, 13747 Eastex Freeway, Houston, Texas 77039.
