I have such fond memories of your father, a good and loving soul. I am sad I will never see his face and experience his kindness again on earth. But I know we will see him again when we are all in heaven. I look forward to seeing him smile again!

Fixing things around the house, being your Mother's rock, the leader of the family and an excellent Abuelo and bisAbuelo, a great friend and a green thumb. There was nothing your father couldn't do! He'll be very missed. My condolences for your loss.
Love, Armida

The fruits of Jose’s many years of labor. 

I only had the good fortune of meeting Jose twice, most recently on a two week visit with his daughter and family during Christmas 2019. During this recent visit Jose sat with me and discussed his history while showing photo albums and articles. I cherished every moment listening to his wisdom, agricultural knowledge and love for his family. It was obvious he was a smart, hard-working, passionate and loving man. I am so thankful he took it upon himself to share this with a distant relative like myself. He'll always be a great man in my book and my wife and I share our sincere condolences and love to the family.

Abuelito, always there in times of need or sitting outside watching the palm trees in the evening. I loved the memories of walking the hill together or coming over for an evening chat after my runs on the ranch, to see him reading in his chair with his little dog. Abuelito was so wise and loved to see others happy. He always put others before himself and was always calling friends and family. He was most happy when he hosted a party at the ranch. He was always so energetic and never feared a project that seemed bigger than what was possible. I loved his can-do attitude and his mind that was always visualizing the next project. He will be greatly missed and I will work as hard as you did in the things I am passionate about. Thank you for inspiring me!
Con Amor y que Dios te siempre bendiga querido Abuelito,
Alyssa Rodriguez (grand-daughter)

Gracias por todo, Tio Jose. Un beso hasta el cielo.
-Maria (Lupita) Mencias

Dear Lopez Family,

Y no te imaginas lo que te agradecería que nos permitan ver el funeral de mi tío, ya que nos podemos estar presentes de manera física, pero lo haremos de manera virtual y ese mismo día mi esposa Kenia le mando decir una misa en su honor a ese gran hombre y ser humano que es y sera para siempre mi tío para mi y mi familia. Nosotros el lunes terminamos de rezarle su novenario. 

Gracias a ustedes por tomarnos en cuenta. Dios los bendiga, saludos a mi tia Aurora y a toda la familia de parte de mi esposa Kenia, mi hijo y mias. Mi tío no a muerte el vivirá siempre en nuestros corazones. Él va a morir el día que dejemos de recordarlo y eso nunca pasara ténganlo por seguro. Que dios le de el consuelo y fortaleza a toda la familia. Saludos y un fuerte abrazo.
-Jose Luis, Kenia y hijos Lopez

My Tio was a great man with a big heart for our family. He will truly be missed.

-Susana Parra y familia Villareal

Familia no hay palabras para tan grande dolor, lo siento mucho. Se fue un gran hombre y un excelente tío. Lo recordaremos con cariño. Les envío abrazos a distancia de toda la familia. Descansa en Paz, Tío Jose. 
-Lucy Parra Villarreal y Familia Villarreal

The other night my CJ insisted I tell her how to spell "Dear Abuelo, I hope heaven is fun! I'm going to see if I can borrow Keiko!" love, CJ so she could write him a note. And tonight I was snuggling Aurora putting her to bed. She hugged me and rubbed my arm and said "I'm really sorry your Abuelo passed away, I'm so sorry mommy." Let's just say waterworks. I said sweet girl, thank you, please don't be afraid that I'm crying, she said in the sweetest voice, "mama, your tears don't make me afraid," and gave me a giant hug.
-Vada Lyon (granddaughter)

The MOST amazing man I've ever met was laid to rest today. It hits different when you see someone with such a dynamic life, in a casket. One thing is guaranteed for all of us, we all die. My grandfather lived an honorable life loving people hard and I'm thankful for the gift of grieving as it has highlighted some seriously beautiful memories and the magnitude of gratitude I have to God for letting Jose C Lopez be my Abuelo. I know I was dearly loved by him. He is forever missed and man am I grateful for my visit in June. I am blessed. Attendees were greeted with exotic fruits, the man with a dynamic green thumb grew with utter love. To see their smiles filling their bags warmed my heart. He would never let you leave the ranch without a giant bag of goodies or box of fruits and limes. At Christmas, he would give everyone a white envelope with your name and lots of cash and a pen. He loved a fiesta and today, all who attended received pens, a white envelope and a bag of fruit.
-Vada Lyon, Brody, CJ, Aurora, and Brex (granddaughter and great-grandchildren)

Loss is devastating. Ready to park for work this am I got the news my favorite man passed away. Jose C Lopez, a man I had the privilege to call my Abuelo. He was incredible. Incredible heart, incredible work ethic, a man that loved a fiesta, a man that served his community, his family and most of all his bride. He had so much wisdom and I loved having conversations with him. He had conviction and it often corrected my steps and I valued that. He appreciated presentation and worked diligently with his hands. He grew THE best fruit and cared for his trees with such amor! God put it on my heart to see them in June with urgency and I called his cell phone to set up a visit and the joy he had in his voice hearing me on the other line will make me smile forever. I will forever miss hearing him say "hola Yanessa, como estas mija" "si, si, com en over!" He always said the same thing on the phone anytime I called him. He had joy and love in his voice. This last visit he kept saying "we old Yanessa, we are not strong, life is ending for us Yanessa." He had that conviction in his voice. I took a lot of pictures and savored every moment. He took to Brex so fondly, he insisted he walk with him and hold his hand and insisted on me taking plenty of photos of the two of them. When I left he said "I love you hija but I'm not hugging you." My abuelita was weak and he wasn't going to risk the virus for her. I wish I could have hugged him. I'm so thankful I saw him, sat with him, ate with him, walked his property with him. He walked a long way to settle in CA and established relationships that helped him prosper. The man and the life he built is cherished, Dios the bendiga Abuelo, gracias por todo. 
-Vada Layan y familia

Today was hard, harder than I thought it would be. Abuelo was an amazing man, came to America from Jala with nothing and built a fruitful life in Vista. Lopez nurseries will not be the same, I still don't believe he is gone. He was an amazing farmer and person. He could grow anything and his Avocados are the best in California! He would have loved a party and we couldn't give that to him but today was beautiful and he would of loved everyone watching from afar and there in person. Thank you to all who has shown support to our family...
-Crysta, Tony, Tre, Lainey Garcia (Lopez)

First of all I would like to express my deepest condolences. My tio was a very great man, he was sincere, humble and inviting to all. Alfredo and I are most certain that we will be attending my tios funeral. You guys are all in my prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can help with. Once again sorry for your loss, my tia Aurora, and the rest of the family. 
-Alfredo, Nancy (Mencias), and family 

Do you believe in soulmate's?!? Well I do, it can be your spouse, a friend, someone you are completely in tune with in every way, this beautiful soul is one of mine!!! I call her one of my best friend's, a second mother and angel. God brought us together because he knew we needed each other. Her father passed away a few days ago, my heart is broken for her and the family. I've been texting her everyday since he went into the hospital. She texts me back everyday, except Thursday I texted her that me and my family were praying for her and the family. Friday she told me her father had passed away Thursday and she said the text I sent the day before was the exact time her father took his last breath. Now that wasn't luck, that is how you know God put each other's life for a reason. 
-Elsa and Vaeao Family

Yo se que no es fácil todavía sanar el vacío pero sabemos que esta vivo su alma un día nos encontraremos. Nuestro rosario los ofrecemos diario por ustedes y nuestras misas que gracias adios todavía ya podemos ir. Mis hijos dicen que lo recordaran a tu papa y nosotros también. Que diosito los proteja y guíe siempre.
-Kiko, Mari, Daniel, Nancy, Sam Mencias y toda la familia

We are so lucky to have pictures like this. This was Tony and my wedding day 10 years ago 8/21/2010. Both sets of grandparents. I'm so fortunate to have the years I did with 4 of them and my kids as well. Abuelo will be missed.
-Crysta Garcia (Lopez), granddaughter
