Robert Scott Lopez

Scott graduated from Bonneville High School in 1976 and married Patricia Hines and had two children, Travis and Kameron. He began working as a meter reader with Utah Power and Light. He moved up from there and climbed every ladder (or pole) there was to climb to be a journeyman lineman. In 1986, he moved from Ogden to St. George, Utah where he enjoyed boating at Lake Powell, hiking, cooking up some mean burgers, and building a wonderful life for his family. He was an amazing father, and a dad to every kid who came into our home, and we are so thankful he was ours. A terrible ski accident in 1993 led to a broken back and hip and which lead to a new journey, and he enrolled at Dixie College (now Utah Tech) where he got associate of science degree. His first marriage ended, and a new chapter began.

In 1999 he met Jan Peterson, his partner in everything and love of his life, and moved to San Diego, CA where he worked at San Diego Gas and Electric for 23 years until his passing. He had many abilities and worked as a journeyman lineman, in technical support, project coordination and in standers administration, to name a few. He had many, many coworkers over the years who became much more than that. It was a brotherhood and sisterhood to him and when the power goes out, we call Scott.

He was a joyful person with a true zest for life and it showed in how he spent his time. He loved his friends as though they were family. The impact he had on their lives and that they had on his one that will endure.

He was warm and funny and smart and goofy. And there is no debate to how handsome he was. His smile could – and did – light up any room. He was truly a friend to anyone and had the best sense of humor, always making everyone laugh. He loved playing his guitar and was always improving his amazing gift.

Scott is survived by his wife, Jan; his children, Travis (Angella) Lopez and Kameron (Bryce) Durr; his sister, Claudia (Kevin) Read; his mother, Kay Lopez; and his four grandchildren, Mercedes and Gabriel Lopez, and Oliver and Henry Durr. He was preceded in death by his father, Bob; and some very close and dear friends.
