Honoring James Ayala: A Loving Son's Farewell

In Loving Memory of James Robert Lopez Ayala (Age 14)

Tragically taken from us on May 10, 2025

Hello, my name is Kimberly, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin’s son, James R. Lopez Ayala, to help raise funds for his memorial and funeral expenses. James tragically passed away on May 10, 2025.

With unimaginable sorrow and broken hearts, we share the devastating loss of our beloved James Robert Lopez Ayala, who was taken from us far too soon in a horrific car accident. James was only 14 years old.

James brought light and laughter into every life he touched. His smile could brighten even the darkest day, and his kind, generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He was a dedicated student who worked hard, maintained excellent grades, and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to his classmates. James had a sharp sense of humor that made everyone around him feel at ease.

He had a deep love for music, especially the guitar, and often spent time teaching his friends how to play. It brought him joy to share what he knew and watch others grow. James also found strength and discipline through boxing, a passion that gave him confidence and focus. He had big dreams, a natural ability to bring people together, and a spirit that made the world a little brighter just by being in it.

Our world has been shattered by his sudden passing. No words can express the depth of our grief, and no parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a child.

As we face the heartbreak of planning a funeral no parent should ever have to plan, we are humbly asking for support from our community family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers. Your contributions, no matter the amount, will help us honor James’s life and give him the farewell he deserves. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this message and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

For those who want to understand the tragic circumstances of James’s passing, we feel it’s important to be transparent, though it is difficult.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, love, and support during this incredibly painful time.

With love and gratitude,

The Lopez Family
