Christopher Lee

Lopez

Christopher Lee Lopez Sr., 55, beloved father, son, brother and friend, passed away November 2nd, 2026 in the comfort of his home in Albuquerque, NM surrounded by his family. Born April 26, 1971, Chris lived a life marked by kindness and hard work. God is Good! 

Chris said these words just about every time he met with someone. He was a hard worker, when it came to landscaping and working outside. There was not a single person who didn’t like Chris. As some of the family shared stories about his life and milestones, he’s remembered for his calm demeanor and how reliable he was. Whenever someone needed help with a job, whether he was afraid of heights or not, he was there. Whenever someone needed a ride to a doctor’s appointment, he may have driven a little cautiously, but he was on time and got you there safely. He kept in touch about once a week. Especially, when the 49ers were on, he'd like to check in! It was amazing how much you'd get from a 30 second conversation. 

God is Good! Chris was a good man. He is preceded in death by his father Isaac Lopez and sister Janice Arguello. He is survived by his son Christopher Lee Lopez Jr. and Christopher’s partner, Roxanna Olivares, his mother Evangeline Arguello and step-father Abel Arguello, his step-mother Kathy Lopez, brother Isaac Randy Lopez, sister Melanie Lopez, step-brothers Paul Perea, Kevin Perea, Sr., wife Shelly and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Special thanks are extended to the family of Christopher Jr.'s mother Micayla Salazar for their support and kindness throughout this process in honoring Chris. 

Services will be held November 20th at Our Lady of Guadalupe Peralta Catholic Church at 3674 Highway 47, Peralta, NM 87042. Visitation and Eulogy to be held at 11:00am, with mass to begin at Noon.
