Rene shared his life with his beloved wife, Belinda Ybarra Lopez, and together they shared 29 beautiful years filled with laughter, love, and devotion. Rene's legacy lives on through his four children: Rene Lopez (Ariana), Joel Juan Lopez, Marisa Liane Lopez (Brandon), and Brando Lee Lopez (Aliyah). His greatest joy came from his growing family, especially his grandchildren, who were the light of his life.

Rene is lovingly remembered by his nine grandchildren: Juliyona Marie Lopez, Briyona Nicole Lopez, Ana'lysia Ivy Lopez, Aubrey Renee Lopez, Miliana Melody Villarreal, Audrey Nicole Lopez, Arian Corona Lopez, Jordan Rene Lopez, and Michael King Lopez, with two more blessings on the way.

He is survived by his children, grandchildren, and siblings- Aurora L. Contreras, Ernesto T. Lopez, Yolanda L. Rivas, Ma, Alicia L. Gonzalez, Enrique T. Lopez, Javier T. Lopez, and Leandro T. Lopez.

Rene will be remembered for his kind heart, his unique sense of humor, his smile, his laughter, the music that carried his soul. His love will echo in every melody and the way his music could fill any room with warmth and joy. He leaves behind a legacy of love, music, strength, and a beautiful melody that will live on through his family and all those whose lives he touched.
