EMMANUEL ANTHONY LOPEZ Dec. 18, 1951 – March 13, 2020

Our Loving God called Emmanuel to Heaven on March 13, 2020. 

Emmanuel was born in Santa Fe to Michael Albert and Eva (Martinez) Lopez on December 18, 1951. 

Besides his parents he was preceded in death by sisters Inez (Tony) Deines and Juanita and by brothers Mike and Paul Eddie. 

He is survived by sisters Rebecca (Orlando) Romero, Roseanne (Bart) Ripp, Lucille, Mary (Steve) Bingham, Josephine, Eva, Patty (Andy) Walker, Frances (Joe) Cotanch and Cathy (Kevin) Karns; and brothers John Jake (Lydia), Tom and Albert.

He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews, many for whom he was padrino for baptisms or confirmation and many cousins.

Emmanuel graduated from Espanola High School in 1969 and from the University of New Mexico with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1973. Upon graduation he worked for Dow Chemical, Maxwell Labs and retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory.

He will truly be missed by his family and friends. Emmanuel truly was about family and helped all the family members in many ways. He was always there to help any time or day. He enjoyed the outdoors especially fishing and camping.

He was a member of the Saint Francis Cathedral community and after retiring devoted many hours as an acolyte, usher and volunteer handyman. He was a member of the Friends of the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad Organization and volunteered every summer to maintain the line. 

Arrangements are pending.
