Dates
Eddie R. “Boy” Lopez Jr. of Austin, Texas went to be with our Heavenly Father on June
26, 2022. Eddie was born in San Angelo, Texas on April 26, 1962, to Eddie R. Lopez Sr.
and Minnie Martinez. He was the oldest of one sibling, Lera Wroblewski. He graduated
from Central High School and attended Angelo State University in San Angelo Texas.
He married the love of his life, Marylisa Garcia Lopez in Austin, Texas.
His passions in life included attending and following the billiard circuit throughout Texas.
He was named the “9-Ball Hill Country Champion” of 2004. Of course with the rhythm
of a smooth pool player, came a smooth Tejano and R & B dancer. As his niece would
lovingly call him “Tio Pimp”. He would light up any party not just with his smooth moves
but his infectious smile.
He was a bargain shopper who loved finding the best deals at his local thrift stores. But
to get him in a great mood, you just needed to ask him to visit the nearest Home Depot
as that was his “ candyland”. He would walk around the whole store with visions of
remodeling our home and buying the newest tool gadget he could find.
Eddie was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Minnie Martinez, grand parents,
Conrad Sr. and Macaria Lopez, Marcario “Mike” and Elivera Martinez, father and mother
in-laws Juan Santiago and Mary Ann Garcia, uncles Conrad Lopez Jr, Richard Lopez,
and Fred Caballero Sr., aunts Gloria Caballero and Christine Midian Lopez, cousins,
Ronnie Caballero, Deda Caballero, Cecilia Caballero, Irve Caballero and David Cox.
He is survived by his loving wife Marylisa of Austin, son Eddie R. Lopez III of Austin and
