Cpl. Hunter Lopez

Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, was among the 13 service members killed in an attack on the Kabul airport Thursday, Aug. 26, as the United States pulls out of Afghanistan after almost 20 years in the country. Hunter leaves behind his parents, Captain Herman Lopez, and Deputy Alicia Lopez of the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. Hunter was a Sheriff’s Explorer Scout with the Palm Desert Station from September 2014 to August 2017. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, and planned to join the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department after his deployment ended. He also leaves behind countless family friends, community members and an entire nation who are mourning his loss. Hunter and his fellow Marines answered a call to service. They fought honorably and bravely. I would like our community to come together to Honor Cpl. Lopez and the other brave soldiers who answered that call, to honor them and show our respect. All proceeds raised from this fundraiser will be donated in Hunter's name to the Riverside County Deputy Relief Fund. October 29, 2021, we will be holding a Memorial Service to honor them and say "Thank You" for your Bravery, Service and Sacrifice. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please consider donating. Any amount would be truly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, I would love it if you could share this on any or all your social media pages.
