Marcelino Lopez Sr

Marcelino Lopez Sr., age 64, of Taylor, Texas, entered into the presence of the Lord on February 5, 2026.

Marcelino was born on April 26, 1961, in Taylor, Texas, to Tony and Balentina Lopez. He was raised in the close-knit community of Thorndale, where he developed the strong work ethic and deep family values that would define his life.

On July 7, 2002, he married the love of his life, Irma Bason. They shared 13 beautiful years of marriage until her passing.

Marcelino had five children, who remained the pride and joy of his life. He was a dedicated and hardworking man who spent over 40 years in construction as a truck driver. For the last 10 years, he faithfully served with Lone Star Paving. He took great pride in providing for his family and was known for his reliability, strength, and commitment to his work.

He was loving, kind, and gentle-hearted. Devoted to his family, Marcelino always made sure his loved ones were cared for and supported. He had a deep love for football and was a loyal fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. His laughter, quiet strength, and steady presence will be deeply missed.

Marcelino faithfully attended Living Hope Church in Hutto, Texas. His faith in Christ was an important part of his life, and we take comfort in knowing he now rests in eternal peace.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Tony and Balentina Lopez; his beloved wife, Irma Lopez; his sister, Janie Lopez; and his brothers, Raymond Lopez and Daniel Lopez; Granddaughter Esperanza Lopez.
