Antonio "Tony" Lopez III, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on October 29, 2024, in Fresno, California, at the age of 57. Born on February 22, 1967, Tony was known for his larger than life personality and his love for his family. He is preceded in death by his late father, Antonio A. Lopez, Jr. and mother, Lydia Castillo.

Tony is survived by his wife, Annaliza Lopez. Together, they have six children: Nikki Lopez of San Diego, Ca., Felicia (and spouse David Venegas) of Fresno, Ca., Christian Lopez "Lil Tony", of Fresno, Ca., Felix Gallegos Jr., of Arizona, Joseph Gallegos Sr., of Oregon, Melissa (and spouse, David Medina) of Stockton, Ca. He was also a proud grandfather to Ava and 12 other grandchildren. He was a proud brother of Amy and Frank Romero, Rene and Aurora Lopez and Rudy Lopez all of Fresno, Ca., David & Rosa Lopez of New Mexico, and Adrian and Janelle Lopez of Oregon, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and great-nephews and nieces.

Tony worked as a Cement Mason for over 30 years, but his true passion was cruising in his 1985 El Camino, listening to loud music, attending car shows, searching for treasure at thrift stores, collecting antiques, decorating for the holidays and hosting family gatherings.

Antonio will be remembered for his infectious laughter, his big heart, and his love for life. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Rest in peace, Antonio "Tony" Lopez. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
