Manuel Lopez Jr.

Manuel "Manny" Lopez Jr. was called to the heavenly shores on April 17, 2024. He passed peacefully with family by his side. He was 83.

Manny was born on Kaua'i on May 13, 1941. He is preceded in death by his parents, Eulogia and Manuel and sister Connie Ceda. But those he left behind will never forget him. He is survived by his wife, Estrelita, daughter, Julie (Adam), son Nole (Marianne), nephew Eric Carbonel, sister Teodocia Lastimosa, grandchildren, Athan Marsh and Noelani Lopez and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Manny had a passion for fishing, friends and family. His love for all three was unwavering. He was eager to teach the next generation how to fish and provide as he had done for many years. Those teachings are a part of him that will never leave and will be gifts he gave us that can forever be used.

Manny always found the fun in any situation. He was a jokester. He may have said the same jokes once or twice, but it was hard to not laugh at them every time. His smile and laugh were infectious. If you were lucky enough to be around him when he was joking around, then you know his silliness came at the best times.

A celebration of life will be held on June 14, 2024 at Borthwick Kaua'i Mortuary in Koloa, Hawaii. Please join us at 10:00am for lunch and sharing of memories.
