Rancino "Chito" Lopez was born on Valentines Day, 1985 and passed away on Saturday, February 21, 2009. He is survived by the great love of his life, his daughter, Rebecca Jo Lopez, Mother Nina Franco, Grandmother Manuela Lopez, Niece Aaliyah Lopez, Big brother Nino Lopez and Little Sister Raylene Lopez as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. Chito will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
His Mother has written this poem for her son:
Thumb Print of Life:
I am just lines, curves, and ridges. I am what today has built new bridges. Walk out and look at the sky, don't ever ask why just know it had to take place. You have cried enough so put a smile on your face. I made you feel happy, sad, and angry. I made you smile and cry. I could make you do all of this because it was my plan. Who made it happen? Who else, but CHITOMAN! I am your thumb print, so watch where you leave my mark. My mark is in your heart! nmp 2-23-09
