The family of Jose Lopez, USA, have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in his final Military Honors. It will be our privilege to do so.
Jose was drafted into the United States Army in 1961 and was honorably discharged in 1963. He served as a veterinary assistant in the military.
After Jose’s military service he settled in Oxnard, CA working as a machinist and then as a road maintenance worker for the County of Ventura until retirement.
Outside of work, Jose enjoyed fishing, watching and playing baseball and soccer with his children.
Jose is survived by his wife, sisters, children and a large extended family.
