Thomas Chase Lopez, 38,
of Lumberton, Texas, passed peacefully
from this life during the Hour of Mercy
on Saturday, September 4, 2021. He was
born on March 17, 1983, to Tommy and
Brenda Lopez.
He is survived by his beloved wife,
Amanda; daughter, Katherine; sons,
Christian and Gabriel; parents, Brenda
and Tommy Lopez; sisters, Cindy Rivas
and her husband, Adrian and Erin Evans
and her husband, Mickey; nephews and
nieces, Brady and Alicia Rivas, and
Brayden, Grayson, and Sarah Evans; and
a whole host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Chase is preceded in death by his grandparents, M.B. and Delores Nelson
and Domingo (Joe) and Catherine (Kate) Lopez.
Always dedicated to his family, Chase’s favorite things in life always
revolved around his wife and children. Family trips, Saturdays on the
soccer field, and Sunday barbecues were where you found him living
his best life. As a devoted husband, finding a stronger, deeper, and more
connected love than the one he shared with his wife Amanda would
be a challenge. His high school sweetheart: they laughed, loved, and
endured in a way that was an inspiration to anyone who bore witness
to their marriage. Chase will be missed as a father who knew of no
greater responsibility than to that of his children. The lessons of hard
work, honesty, integrity, and selflessness were lessons he imparted to his
children in hopes that one day they each would change the world.
He was respected for his professionalism and known for his intellect,
level-headedness, sense of humor, smile, and his contagious laugh. He
never met a stranger and never lost a round of “Name That Tune,” even
though he didn’t quite always know the lyrics. He will be missed, but his
legacy will endure forever.

Sonnet XLIII
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men might strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Parise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tear, of all my live! And, If God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
