Ethan Jessie Lopez

Ethan Jessie Lopez gained his Angels Wings on May 14, 2017 while being treated at the El Paso Children’s Hospital. A vibrant little boy, Jessie was brought into this world on December 18, 2013 where he greeted his parents Danny and Charlene (Baca) Lopez with a warm and tender smile. During his short 3 years Ethan touched the lives of so many people. Anyone who met Ethan was drawn to him and would fall deeply in love with him. He had his own way of figuring things out and he always would wait for daddy’s approval which made daddy so proud. He learned to walk before he crawled, he knew sign language, he loved the beach in California and he loved snap chat and to dance and recently attended a mother and son dance with mommy where he danced the night away. Ethan attended Hurchel Antwine School where he rode the bus all by himself to go to school; he attended Cradle and Crayons Day Care and was involved with GiGi’s Play House and the Down Syndrome Coalition. He participated in Special Olympics and Buddy Walk. Ethan accomplished so many things in his three years that adults would not accomplish in a lifetime.
