Alfred Lopez

With profound love and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Alfred Lopez, who left us on March 22, 2026, at the age of 78.

Alfred was a devoted spouse, loving parent, and proud grandparent whose life was centered around family. He was married to Charlotte Lopez for 54 years, after they were wed in Reno, Nevada—beginning a lifelong partnership filled with love, strength, and unwavering support.

Together, they made their home in Loon Lake, Washington, at their beloved property known as “Mt. Lopez,” where countless memories were created with family and friends over the years.

He also proudly served in the United States Army, including service during the Vietnam War. During his time in the military, Alfred demonstrated courage and dedication, earning the Army Commendation Medal in recognition of his service and commitment to his country.

A true jack of all trades, Alfred built a life defined by hard work and versatility. He found success as a salesman, worked as a chef and restaurant manager—always willing to lend a hand, fix what was broken, and take pride in a job well done.

Alfred had a deep love for working with his hands and being outdoors. He enjoyed raising bees and chickens, cooking and baking for family and friends, and spending time on his tractor building roads and moving earth around his property. He also had a passion for working on cars, always finding joy in fixing and improving anything with an engine.

Together, they raised seven “Spanish angels”: Kevin Shawver, Machelle Mora, Frederal Lopez, Don Diago Lopez, Rafeal Lopez, Perceleono Lopez, and Trinidy Lopez, who were the pride and joy of his life. Alfred’s legacy continues through his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense happiness and meaning to his later years.

Alfred will be remembered for his love for life, kindness, generosity, sense of humor, and the way he brought people together. Whether at Mt. Lopez or beyond, he left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his spouse, Charlotte Lopez; his children—Kevin Shawver, Machelle Mora, Frederal Lopez (Trisha Lopez), Don Diago Lopez, Rafeal Lopez, Perceleono Lopez, and Trinidy Lopez; his grandchildren—Chad Bergman, Scott Strout, Tina Novotney, Jennifer Shawver, Nick Shawver, Sasha Moura, Nathan Moura, Jasmyne Cheney, Gage Lopez, Kalie Lopez, Aalyah Lopez, Ronin Lopez, Chelsey Monique Jones, Caden RA Lopez, Jada W.
