On January 13, 2021, Adrian “Junior” Lopez lost his struggle to stay alive
following a gas explosion which destroyed his family home shortly after
Thanksgiving. Junior was a 22 year old college senior at the University
of South Florida in Tampa completing his degree in engineering when
he passed away. Junior died an unnecessary death when the
authorities, including Emergency Personnel, assured the family that it
was safe for them to remain in their home. Junior is survived by his
father Adrian Lopez, Sr., mother Francisca Lopez and his sister Karina
Lopez. Junior was the pride and joy of his family and was set to be the
first member of his family to graduate from University in the United
States.

  The Lopez family thought they lost everything in the explosion, all of
their material possessions and their home. Now, with the passing of
Junior, the Lopez family has truly lost the most important piece of their
lives, their only son and brother.
