Everyone is welcome. VFW, Marine Corps League, American Legion, Scouting Organizations, Police, Fire, Rescue, First Responders, DAV, Delta Quilters, Wreaths Across America, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, East Contra Costa County Historical Society, Government and Elected Officials, Lions Club, Rotary, Masons, 4-H, the body religious, all veterans, the business community, DHS, FPS, Gold Star Families, Blue Star Families, the communities of Brentwood, Antioch, Oakley, Knightsen, Bethel Island, Byron, Discovery Bay, friends, family, and so many others: you are all welcome.
The family will be in attendance. Maggie has said, “I want nothing less than to see the hall overflowing with people there to honor my husband.” Let’s make that happen!
Some special notes. There will be 3 other events in Downtown Brentwood at the same time – please consider carpooling with others – perhaps parking at an alternate location like Veterans Park, and then taking one vehicle to park closer to the hall.
There will be street closures.
There will be a rifle salute around noon.
You may want to drop off those who have challenges walking very far first, and then parking the vehicle.
Allow yourself extra time to park and plan in case you do have to walk a little farther than you anticipate.
Please join us as we celebrate the life of Steve Lopez-Todd: husband, father, son, veteran, soldier, police officer, neighbor, friend, and much more. Steve was a man of character who never missed an opportunity to help others.
He always gave back to our community, and he made this a better place to live. Every life he touched was made better by Steve. Veterans held a special place in his heart, and he was always available to help, listen, and lend a hand to any veteran in need.
We will honor Steve’s amazing life on Saturday June 24th 11:00 AM at the Brentwood Veterans Memorial Building, 757 1st street, Brentwood, CA.
After the celebration of life, there will be a lunch provided in exchange for memories, stories, smiles, laughter, and hugs. Let us all come together and commemorate the life of this amazing man.
Steve Lopez-Todd was the commander of the VFW Post 10789 from 2009 to 2019. Steve was California Assembly District 11 California Veteran of the year in 2016. He was also a member of American Legion Post 202 and the Delta Diablo Marine Corps League Det.1155 and a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans Post 7. He was also the past Second Vice President of the Brentwood Lions Club.
