Obituary of Angel "Mike" Lopez

Angel “Mike” Lopez Sr. was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in 1949. He passed away on August 11th, 2020, at his residence in Edison, NJ, at the age of 71. He was surrounded by his loving wife and children. Mike lived a life of laughter, unconditional love, and joy. He was a chef who loved bringing people together around the table. His bacon, his prime rib, his salmon, his mofongo, and his tostones will be missed. He was a hard worker. He worked since he was 16 years old. He was a self-taught mechanic who could fix just about anything; his concentration was in the Dry Cleaning industry. He owned the Town Cleaner’s in New Brunswick, NJ and then moved on to being a freelance dry cleaner technician for 25 years. He was a storyteller and a comedian. He commanded a room, spread immense laughter, and inspired people. He was a father. Not only to his children, but to his nieces and nephews. Above all, he lived a model life. He wanted to see people happy. He loved his family fiercely. And he lived a selfless life. He was predeceased by his daughter Elizabeth Lopez. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Hilda Lopez; his children, Marilyn Lopez, Michelle Lopez, and Angel “Mike” Lopez Jr; his grandchildren, Carlos Lopez, Sebastian Zuniga, Adriana Barnes, Cecilia Zuniga, and Alexander Lopez; and his siblings. A viewing will be held on August 14th, 2020 at the Boylan Funeral Home, 10 Wooding Avenue, Edison from 2-4PM and 6-8PM. There is a GoFundMe page raising money for the burial expenses.
