In May 2014, the community of Jonesboro, Arkansas, was struck by the untimely death of Ricardo Ulises Lopez, a 31-year-old man. Born in Sonsonate, El Salvador, on February 2, 1983, Mr. Lopez had made Jonesboro his home since 2001. He was known as a construction worker and a member of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. His passing on Saturday, May 3, 2014, left a void in the lives of his family and friends.
Details regarding the specific circumstances of Ricardo Lopez's death are not
available in online sources. While a condolence message in his obituary guestbook mentioned having 'read about him on the news,' no news articles detailing the cause or manner of his death, nor any information regarding an investigation, suspects, or arrests, can be found through online searches.
Ricardo Lopez was survived by his parents, Juan Lopez of Sonsonate, El Salvador, and Maria Francisca Castillo of Jonesboro. He was a father to a son, Anderson Lopez, and two daughters, Esmeralda and Mia Lopez, all of Jonesboro. He also left behind three brothers and two sisters. A funeral mass was held in his honor at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, and he was laid to rest in Nettleton Cemetery. The absence of further information leaves the narrative of his final days incomplete, with the community remembering him as a father, son, brother, and member of their local congregation.
