Known to his friends as "Jerry," he was known for years by local residents and politicians who gathered at his father Geronimo's popular Texas Lounge since the days that it was frequented by the likes of Adolfo "Bedo" Betancourt, JP Tony Torres, D.J. Lerma, Sheriff Alex Perez, and other elected officials and law enforcement types when it was located on the second story of Joe Zayas' land development office on the corner of Coolidge and 14th streets.
Later, when Lopez Sr. moved it to Paredes Line Road and, even later, to Central Blvd., Jerry helped his dad run the business. His latest venture was operating George Gavito's Barrel Lounge next to the Oyster Bar which burned down a few years ago. We now learn that he came down with a colon ailment and is in dire need of emergency surgery. Several fundraisers were held to assist his family with his medical and incidental needs.
We thank all his those who contributed in his hour of need by donating and sending him messages of encouragement. Others will have to deal with their own conscience. Jerry's optimistic outlook on life and ready smile toward all will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
Delta Funeral Home, 1300 E Harrison Street, of Brownsville, will handle funeral arrangements. Arrangements will be announced. For more information, call (956) 542-2222.

Al menos lo intentamos porque ni siquiera comprando platos apoyaron.Los mil "AMIGOS LOS HERMANOS" QUE SE JACTABAN SER. Murieron antes k Geronimo. Más bien nunca existieron. Porque nunca nacieron

Condolences for the family! My conscience sleeps well at night! How about yours Montoya. You will answer for your sins one day. Everyone does.
All his family needs to say is that "he left no estate" and the hospital won't charge them. RIP
Rest in Peace Brother.
