It’s a grief to hear that you are no longer with us. It just feels like a nightmare in a dream brother. I know we met about 3 years ago at the gym and I never thought I would see you again but I got to again and every question I asked you answered to me ,those words I will always remember forever thank you!!! Your truly a inspiration to me  and will always be one of the most humblest persons I ever met. You really changed a lot of people’s life’s for the better. I will alway remember everytime you walked into the gym and called me “Big Dawg! And would say put those guns away” joking around I wish you were still here.... Gone too soon.....

Ricardo you were a great motivator and friend, lots of good memories from long ass bike rides too bear crawls!! Gone too soon!! One of my favorite quotes “don’t threaten me with a good time” 
Thanks for everything 
Chef Javi!!! 

Our friend Ricardo (aka Boss)

We are in disbelief that this has happened and don’t understand why and why now…  so we sit here at a loss of words for someone who had so many words to say to us… you united strangers to become best friends and inspired us all along the way. You introduced us to a healthy fit lifestyle and allowed us to bring you into our world and enjoy a cupcake 🧁 or two, and a beer once in a while..

We promise to continue our fitness journey with everything you have taught us, and remain a workout family, and make you proud… you know there will battles along the way.. but in true fashion.. this is what you loved about our group!

You will be missed beyond belief. You touched all our hearts ♥️, much love, cheers our friend! 

Love, Aaron, Rebecca, and Josie

Ciao…


“My dude”
I’m deeply saddened 
I thanked you every day for helping me
I miss you so much it ain’t the same without you

I love you man
I wish you were here 

When we heard of your passing we were deeply heart broken with sadness and disbelief. 

Ricardo,
There is not many people who obtain the unique ability to help others, or encourage them when they didn't believe in themselves but, you did.   It's a gift most people truely desire, but rarely can obtain.  You were passionate with the those that were closes in your circle.  We are so blessed and thankful to have been able to experience your abundance you were so graciously willing to share.  Your contagious laugh, smile, and your outrageous boot camp drills will forever be in our hearts and will forever be missed;....Eye of the tiger baby!

We hope you knew what an immense postive impact you had in our lives and we are forever grateful. Our deepest thoughts and prayers for you, your family, and friends.
You truely were one of the kind!....

Jorge, Lorie, Rylie,Jazlynne, and Jacob

May your beautiful memories of Ricardo comfort you through your everlasting sadness.  Sam and I are both so very grateful for the wonderful memories that we shared with Ricardo and the rest of our boot camp friends.  We often can be heard quoting one of Ricardo’s most infamous lines, “Get Your Money.”  He was an outstanding motivator as we progressed through our fitness journey, encouraging us every step of the way.  We were very sad to hear of his passing and our thoughts and prayers are with Danixa, Ricardo's mother, and the rest of the family. 

Sam and Anissa Correa 

To the Lopez family, my deepest condolences on the loss of your son/brother. 

Ricardo,  it is so hard to believe that I will never see you again.  I wish I could have told you that you came back into my life when I truly needed it the most. You were such an inspiration to all of our boot camp family and you encouraged me to be a better version of myself. You showed me that I could do things that I never thought I could physically do and burpees, bear crawls and sprints will now forever hold a dear place in my heart . I will truly miss your misconception of time where 1 minute planks ended up being 2.  Your laugh was infectious as was your outlook on life and I can only hope that you are now at peace. 

Thank you for being such a wonderful human being and until we see each other again, Ciao my friend. 


To Ricardo’s family, our deepest condolences on your profound loss. May the memory of his laughter and quick wit be a blessing to you. He will be greatly missed. 

Ah Ricardo, I cannot tell you how much we are going to miss your jovial nature and kind words of support. You were a great source of knowledge and a wonderful teacher at boot camp, but you were also a pillar of support as Kelly (and I) went through a rough couple of years.  When last we were together at the gym, we talked about us all getting back to being our strong selves again. We looked so forward to you leading us all back to health and wellness. Now, we must do this in your honor. We will miss you with every platoon 21, every plank, etc., but know that we will hear your voice in our heads and carry your wisdom in our hearts. Peace be with you, Ricardo, and to all who mourn your loss. 

Lyn Green and Kelly Fremming

My heart goes out to the entire Lopez Family in this time of sorrow. 

Ricardo, where does one begin to find the words to express how much you will be missed. I will miss your extreme workouts in crazy weather. I will miss the sprinting till I felt like my legs  were going to fall off. But most of all I will miss you, your wise words of encouragement, your talks on different authors or music from your infinite and awesome playlist. I will miss you saying "Caio" "Sprint" "Break - time" and so much more. 

I will miss your coaching the most on how not to give up.  You will forever remain in my heart and my soul, Ricardo.

Thank You for all that you have shown me and helped me see about myself. I will forever be grateful and eternally thankful to you. 
Until we meet again Ricardo. 
"Caio"






Condolences and peace extended to the entire Lopez family .  I knew Ricardo as a trainer that had the best play lists.  He  always impressed me with his knowledge, commitment, and perseverance.  Vaya con Dios,  Ricardo. Thanks for the laughs and always pushing me to be better.
Your amiga,
Andrea Cruz

Rest in peace, my friend.  Bear crawls will never be the same.  Sincerest condolences to the Lopez family.  

I don't know where to even  begin to say what a HUGE impact Ricardo has made on me and I am positive I speak for the rest of our fit fam. 

Ricardo,
To this day, I hear your wise quotes and words of encouragement during every single one of my workouts. I have heart because of you. I am forever grateful to you and so blessed to have had you in my life; the bootcamp days have a very special place in my heart. I thank you for giving us the gifts of friendship, courage  and confidence.  Descanse en paz querido amigo. You are so deeply missed...
