Alan Hernandez Lopez Funeral

On February 13th, Alan Hernandez Lopez was walking home from school when he was fatally shot. Alan was 16 years old and a sophomore attending Cottonwood High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. Alan was a loving and sweet boy. He helped at home as much as he could, taking care of his siblings and working part time to assist his mother. This speaks to the person Alan was, always putting his family and loved ones first.

We are asking people for help to raise funds for Alan and his family. The funds will go towards funeral costs, medical bills, and assisting Alan’s mother as she has to take time away from work. Alan’s mother is a single mother with 3 other children and while they mourn they need to be together as a family. Anything helps and the family thanks everyone in advance for their contribution.

Alan will be remembered by his mother, two younger sisters, older brother, and the rest of his family and friends.

A little bit about me:

My name is Estefanie Aguilar Padilla and I am a close family friend to the Hernandez-Lopez family. I too live in the Salt Lake City valley. My family has been assisting Alan’s family with whatever possible and we each took on different things that the family needs at this time. Alan’s mother asked me to set up the GoFundMe page in order to help with funeral costs and with expenses related to her absence at work during this time and any outstanding medical costs from Alan’s hospital visit. I plan to withdraw the funds and give personally to Alan’s mother and she will use funds to pay what is listed above.
