Adolfo Lopez was born on February 15th, 1943 in Villa Matamoros, Chihuahua to parents Adolfo Lopez Parras and Julia Morga Lopez. He passed into the care of the Lord on January 22nd, 2024 surrounded by his loving family.

Adolfo had three children in his first marriage: Gerardo, Armando, and Sergio Lopez. He later married Victoria Alvarez in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and they remained together for a cherished 45 years until the moment of his passing.

In his childhood Adolfo resided in Chihuahua, Mexico, attending school in Santa Rosalia. As an adult he travelled between Mexico and Colorado working as a farmhand, eventually deciding to settle in Colorado permanently. He took up work in construction while living in Idaho Springs, and it was in this time that he met his wife Victoria in Eaton, CO. He would move with her throughout North and Northeast Colorado following construction work, and was involved in some very large projects, including the construction of the Eisenhower Tunnel and the Pawnee Power Plant. He took pride in working hard and he never wanted to slow down. He took a career at Cargill as a certified forklift operator later in life, and would continue in this career until 2013.

Adolfo was a man strong in faith and was a devoted Catholic. He regularly attended Mass at St. Helena in Fort Morgan, always sitting in the front row. He continued attending church until his illness would no longer allow for it.

Before he became sick, Adolfo loved to ride his Can-Am motorcycle. He loved to be outside, meticulously maintaining a gorgeous front lawn and ensuring that his flower beds were always full of beautiful roses. He began riding horses at a young age, and despite a serious injury to his left arm as a child, riding and working cattle remained two of his greatest passions in life. His favorite genres of music were Musica Norteños and Mexican Tamborazo, which could often be heard in the inviting home he kept with Victoria.

Adolfo is survived by his wife, Victoria Lopez, his sons Armando and Juan Lopez, his brothers, Isidro, Isabel, Guadalupe, and Andres Lopez, and multiple cousins, nieces and nephews. He leaves behind 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

Adolfo is preceded in death by his parents, Adolfo Lopez Porras and Julia Morga Medina, his sons, Gerardo and Sergio Lopez, his brothers, Martin, Felix, Jesus Manuel and his sister Ramon Estela Lopez Huerta.
