Alfred Lopez

With deep love and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Alfred Lopez, who departed this life on March 22, 2026, at the age of 78.
Alfred was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather whose life was firmly rooted in family. He shared 54 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Charlotte Lopez. Their union began in Reno, Nevada, and grew into a lifelong partnership defined by enduring love, resilience, and unwavering support.
Together, they established their home in Loon Lake, Washington, on their cherished property known as “Mt. Lopez.” There, Alfred created a place where family and friends gathered, and where countless memories were made over the years.
Alfred honorably served his country in the United States Army, including during the Vietnam War. His service was marked by courage and dedication, and he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal in recognition of his commitment and exemplary conduct.
A true jack of all trades, Alfred built a life characterized by hard work, adaptability, and pride in craftsmanship. Over the years, he found success as a salesman and also worked as a chef and restaurant manager. He was known for his willingness to help others, his ability to fix almost anything, and his deep satisfaction in a job well done.
He had a profound appreciation for working with his hands and for the outdoors. Alfred enjoyed raising bees and chickens, cooking and baking for loved ones, and spending time on his tractor shaping and maintaining his land. He also had a passion for working on cars, always finding fulfillment in repairing and improving anything with an engine.
Alfred and Charlotte raised seven children who were the pride and joy of his life. His legacy lives on through his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each of whom brought him immense joy and purpose.
Alfred will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, sense of humor, and his remarkable ability to bring people together. Whether at Mt. Lopez or elsewhere, his presence left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
