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 
daughter Sara Monique Lopez of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Eddie had so many special 
lifelong family and friends; Pete Natal and Lucy Guiterrez and family, Joe and Carrie 
Pedroza and family, Patty Cox and family, Conrad Lopez III and family, Sandra Crockett 
and family, Fred “Coonie” Caballero and family, Genie Caballero and family, Yvonne 
Caballero and family, Tommy Rodriguez and family, Lee Gomez and family, JR Gomez 
and family, Jannette Benefee and family, Cindy Natal and family, Mike Natal and family, 
Anna Martinez and family, Jimmy Garcia and family, Rachel Garcia and family, 
Fernando Santillan and family, Vernon Bilbo and family, Frank Sawyer and family, David 
Orr and family, Johnny and Gerome Cervantes and family, Larry “Big Guy”and Delisa 
Gonzales and family, Joanne “A-Tex Pools” and family, Travis McBride and family, 
Frances Longoria and family, Elizabeth Perez and family and numerous friends, 
cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews that shaped who he was; a 
kind and generous soul. 

The family would like to extend their gratitude to all those who have reached out to 
share the ways Eddie touched their lives. As Eddie’s motto is “When you can’t find 
sunshine be the sunshine”. There will be a celebration of life at Harper Funeral Home at 
1:00 P.M. on Wednesday, July 6, 2022.

Columba Albarran Perez, 74, of San Angelo passed away Wednesday, June 29, 2022.

Viewing will be from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM on Thursday, June 30, 2022 at Robert Massie Funeral Home. Funeral services will be 10:00 AM Friday, June 29, 2022 at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel with Iglesia de Cristo Minister Tomas Davila, officiating. Graveside services will be at 2:00 PM in Lima Cemetery in Ozona under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Mrs. Perez was born on December 31, 1947 in Chumbitaro, Michoacan, Mexico to Salomon and Eufrosina Ocampo Albarran. From an early age, there was no stopping Columba once she made up her mind to do something. This fierceness is what brought her from a small town in Mexico, at the early age of seventeen, to the steps of Angelo State University. Because of her, our family's seed was planted in San Angelo.

Columba was known to many as a devote Christian who liked to quote biblical scripture, but there is also a side of her that many may not know. She loves sports; the Braves were her "go to" team, up until the Texas Rangers started to come up. We would play Tennis, and she would tell us she was Chris Evert Lloyd. She also loves movies. One of Columba's favorite quote was from the movie A League of Their Own, "There's no crying in baseball". There was no man like her John Wayne.

Alone, she worked hard to provide support to her struggling parents and younger sisters. Who would have thought a poor girl, from Mexico, would ever own a 20-acre ranch? She will immediately tell you, she did. If she dreamed it, she made it happen. Her drive and devotion are the legacy she leaves in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all who know and love her.

Columba is survived by her four children, Daniel Duron and spouse Jennifer Martinez of San Angelo, Sarah Resendez and spouse Jesus of San Antonio, Esteban Duron of San Angelo, and Salomon Isacc Duron "Moncho" and spouse Bridget of Ozona; two sisters, Maria "Alili" Albarran and Elvia Borja and spouse Servando; five grandchildren, Anthony Duron Sanchez and spouse Victoria, Alejandro Lara, Jacob Lara, Salomon Isacc Duron, Jr., and Rachel Isabella Duron; and two great-grandchildren, Lylah Marie Sanchez and Caleb Anthony Sanchez.

Martha is survived by two children, Ellen Riddles and husband Ross of Flower Mound and Gary Grubbs and wife Crystal of Chapel Hill, Tennessee; four grandchildren, April Grubbs of San Antonio, Amanda Boyd and husband Jimmy of Spring Hill, Tennessee, Alex Riddles of Flower Mound, and Aaron Grubbs of San Angelo; 10 great-grandchildren, David Boyd, Annalysia Boyd, Robert Boyd, Christopher Boyd, Joseph Boyd, Meranda Boyd, Hailey Boyd, Melanie Grubbs, Jaxson Allen, and Camryn Varela.
