Vincent Lopez Gardea

Vincent Gardea, 18, of Cheyenne, WY, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a family and community who loved him deeply and will forever cherish his memory.

Born on February 3, 2007, Vincent recently graduated from Poder Academy, an accomplishment that filled him and his joyous mother with pride. Hardworking and determined, he set goals for himself and pursued them with focus and heart. One of his greatest recent achievements was purchasing his new truck, something he earned entirely through his own dedication. It was a symbol of his pride, his growth, and the bright future he was building for himself.

Vincent had a wonderful smile and a contagious laugh, the kind that could fill a room and lift others instantly. He was naturally silly, unapologetically himself, and never cared what others thought, a spirit that made him both refreshing and unforgettable. Wherever he went, he brought energy, warmth, and joy. His presence alone could turn an ordinary moment into something brighter.

As a loving and protective big brother, he adored his siblings and always looked out for them. His playful nature, big heart, and ability to make everyone around him laugh will remain among the most treasured memories of those who knew him best.

Vincent is preceded in death by his uncle’s Lewis and Chris; his grandparents Jesus M. Lopez, Macaria C. Lopez, and Tillie and Frank Garcia.

He is survived by his mother Sheree Lopez; his siblings Leslie and Santos; along with numerous family members and friends who will carry his light with them forever.

A Rosary will be held at Wiederspahn Radomsky Chapel of the Chimes on Thursday, November 20, 2025, with services commencing at 6:30 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic church.

Vincent’s laughter, kindness, and vibrant spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.
