Remembering Genesis
A life held close in memory
Genesis Daniel Lopez was an 18-year-old from Pomona, California. Public records and contemporary reporting identify him by name, age, and hometown; they show he died on January 12, 2014. Beyond those verified facts, only limited details appear in the public record. That scarcity leaves space to remember Genesis first as a person — a young man at the threshold of adulthood, with family ties and a life that mattered to those who knew him.
At 18, Genesis would have been navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood: finishing school, forming friendships, discovering interests and plans for the future. While local news reporting documents the circumstances of his death, it does not capture the quieter, everyday parts of his life — the people he loved, the small routines and the ordinary hopes that make up a life. Those private details belong to family and friends; they are the memories that keep a person present in the hearts of those who loved him.
This remembrance honors Genesis by acknowledging the reality of what is known while centering his humanity. He was a young Hispanic man from Pomona whose life held promise and who is remembered by those left behind. The public record is limited and does not provide a published, family-authorized obituary matching the date of death; for that reason this page offers a respectful life-focused remembrance rather than reproducing a funeral notice.
To friends, relatives, and community members who carry Genesis’s memory, may this page serve as a quiet recognition that his life had worth beyond headlines. Where more personal remembrances, photographs, or family tributes exist, those intimate recollections should be added here so that the fullness of Genesis’s life — his relationships, his laughter, his plans — can be preserved and shared with dignity.
