Paz C. Lopez was a man of many hats. A loving, kind, dedicated, and hard-worker always putting the needs of others before his own.  He was born in "Space" (Santa Rita) and moved to Hurley, New Mexico in 1968 where he made a home with his beautiful and loving wife Rose and their four children. He's known for his compassion, giving spirit and kindness. He was a man of faith and love. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.   He worked for the Kennecott Copper Mine for more than 30 years and served as the treasurer of the local union 890 for many years. He attended Western New Mexico University for a brief period of time. A man of many talents, an avid hunter, fisherman and overall outdoorsman, and although he was a master of many things, he is most proud of and known for being the patriarch of his family.  A quiet, stoic lead and provider, he was married 66 years to the only love of his life, Rose. He was a loving, kind and supportive father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, Nino and uncle, and there was never any doubt he loved you, and you knew by the way he always supported you. A wonderful man who will be deeply missed by those who know and love him.
