Manuel Angelo Lopez, 85 of Valley Center California. Left this Earth and returned
Home to our Lord Jesus to begin his New Eternal Life on February 3 rd , 2026.
He was born in Santa Barbara California on May 23 rd, 1940. He married his high school
sweetheart Mary Helen Lopez in Santa Barbara, CA on April 15 th , 1959.
Manuel is survived by 6 children: Lorene, Nick, Valerie, Helen, Anita and Christeena. 17
Grandchildren: Serena Dee, Alisa, Lorenzo, Melissa, Anthony, Michael, Cassandra,
Carissa, Robert, Joseph, Alina, Megan, Allie, Angel, Julian, Carter and Delilah and his
27 grandchildren and his puppy “Harris”.
He was the Musician of our family, a Beloved Husband, Father and Blessed Papa. We
will carry your music with us always dad!
We celebrate his precious life here on earth keeping close memories of him and all he
brought us, beginning with humility and knowing the Lord Jesus as his Beloved Savior,
and always reminding us to follow him. He was always the joker, with his quick come
backs…having one his ready in his back pocket. When we asked him how he was
feeling, he would always respond with; “With My Hands”. Or when asked “Where are
you going?” we would get back “Crazy, want to come?”.
Our father was loving and caring and the hardest worker you would have ever met. But
he was so much more. He has left us wonderful memories of our time with him, and he
will never be forgotten. We will hold him in our hearts until we are able to hold him in our
arms again in Paradise.
Lovingly Always,
His Devoted Family
A celebration of Life open house will be held at his family home, on Easter weekend
