Jesse Lopez

In Loving Memory of Jesse Lopez October 15, 1987 - February 23, 2026 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jesse Lopez, who left this world on February 23, 2026, at the age of 38. Jesse fought a long and courageous battle against cancer with incredible strength, surrounded by love until his very last moments. Jesse was a devoted husband, a proud father, and a man whose love for his family was undeniable. He dedicated many years of hard work at Saputo, where he built strong friendships and took pride in providing for those he loved. Jesse had a deep passion for Mustangs, fast cars, and RC cars. Whether he was working on them, talking about them, or taking a drive, cars were something that always brought him peace and joy. And if you truly knew Jesse, you also knew he was obsessed with Back to the Future a movie he could watch over and over again and never get tired of. Some of Jesse's most cherished moments were the simple ones spent with family. He loved taking drives, especially the peaceful trips to Three Rivers, where he and Crystal would take in the beautiful views and sit together listening to the calming sound of the water. As a family, they also loved taking their boat out to the lake and spending time together in Three Rivers, creating memories on the water that will forever be treasured by those who shared them. Jesse also loved planning adventures with his family. He was always sending Crystal and the kids reels and TikToks of different foods and places, excitedly talking about where their next trip or food adventure would be during his vacation. He loved discovering new spots and sharing those moments with the people he loved most. Jesse and Crystal shared many dreams and plans for the future, including starting their own little weekend food spot where Jesse would cook his amazing carnitas and chicharrones while Crystal made the drinks. Those dreams, along with the memories they created together, will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him. He leaves behind the love of his life, his wife Crystal, and their beloved children Oriahna Leilani "Nani" and Jesse Jr., who were the center of his world. Jesse was incredibly proud of his children and looked forward to being there for every milestone in their lives. Jesse is also survived by his mother, Beronica; his father, Francisco; and his three brothers, Eric, Jorge, and Benji, along with many extended family members and friends who loved him deeply. Jesse will be remembered for his strength, his dedication to his family, and the love he gave so freely to those around him. Throughout his battle, he was surrounded by unwavering love, especially from his wife, who stood faithfully by his side, caring for him and supporting him through every moment until the very end. Though our hearts are broken, his memory will continue to live on in the lives he touched and the love he leaves behind.
