Jacob Andrew Lopez

Jacob was born on July 27, 2000 and lived most of his life in Chilton. He graduated from Chilton High School and later moved to Temple.

He was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend. He loved playing basketball, tennis, and spending time with his family, his dog Apollo and cat Zoey. He also loved hanging out with his beautiful girlfriend Esmeralda Sanchez. Their time together was short lived, but with her he found true love, peace and happiness that made him forget about his pain and gave him the strength to keep fighting a little while longer.

Jacob was a very fun loving, free spirited and spontaneous kid. In his short 22 years he lived life to the fullest with no regrets and everyday was a new adventure. He loved everyone, and even during the toughest times in his life he still managed to smile and bring laughter and happiness to those around him.

Survivors include, Mom Octavia Amaya, Dad Jose Lopez. Brothers Alex Chavez, Matthew Lopez, Ben Chavez and wife Adreanna Amezcua. Sisters Kloe Lopez, Megan Lopez and partner Vivian Griffin. Nieces Amari, Rosalia, Mica and nephew Sebastian. His favorite little cousins Jalen Landrum and Jordan Landrum. Also many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Pallbearers will be Jacob’s brothers Ben Chavez, Alex Chavez and Matt Lopez. His dad Jose Lopez and uncle Emilio Lopez. His favorite little cousins Jalen Landrum and Jordan Landrum. Last but not least his best friend who stuck by his side through his toughest storms in life, Dom Bower.

From his big brother Ben- I just want everyone to know that Jacob was so strong and always wanted the best for everyone. He lived with pain for 7 years and cherished life with us to the end. He chose peace over pain and he always had a full heart and a smile that never quit. He was one of the toughest guys around and the last thing he ever wanted was to checkout and say goodbye to the life and loved ones he adored so much. He will be missed by those who knew him, for he was a stand up guy, a gentleman and a true man of God. He did everything right, even when life dealt him a terrible hand. He fought through it with true grit, and never let his hopes fade. He was Jacob Andrew Lopez, the man, the myth and a true f****** legend!
