Allen Darian Lopez, of Calexico, passed away Saturday, August 11, 2018 in Calexico, California at the tender age of 20.

He was born November 1, 1997 in El Centro to Javier and Sandra (Rascon) Lopez. He attended Calexico High School, Vincent Memorial Catholic High School and graduated from Aurora High School. He was currently enrolled at Imperial Valley College and aspired to become a micro-biologist and wanted to transfer to U.C. Davis.

Darian was very imaginative and loved to draw. He started buying sketch pads at a very young age so he could save his creative drawings and improve as an illustrator. His father Javier would take Darian to the movies almost weekly when he was younger and he grew to also love movies and had a film collection of the movies he enjoyed the most. Other things he enjoyed were video games, reading, music and swimming. He loved his pool when he was younger, spending hours in it at times while his brothers and father watched over him.

Darian was such a loving and caring person that some would affectionately call him Dar-Bear. He will be remembered as a bright, shining light, with above average intelligence and a very unique sense of humor who loved his family and friends most of all.

Darian is survived by his father Javier Lopez of Calexico; his, brothers Damian and Diego Lopez of Calexico; his aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother Sandra who passed away when he was only 5 years old.
