It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sammy Lopez, a dedicated employee of Idabel Public Schools. In addition to his daily duties with the district, Sammy served as the head baseball and head softball coach. Sammy passed away last night, leaving a significant void in our school community.
Sammy Lopez was a valued member of the Idabel Public Schools family, known for his unwavering dedication and passion for both his work and the students he coached. Over the years, he made a lasting impact on countless students and colleagues, fostering a spirit of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Sammy Lopez was not only a dedicated employee but also a mentor and friend to many. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
In addition to his professional contributions, Sammy was a devoted family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Karess, who also works for the district, as well as his children, some of whom are still enrolled in our schools and two who have recently graduated. Our thoughts and prayers are with Karess and the entire Lopez family during this incredibly difficult time.
Arrangements for Sammy are still pending. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to offer support and compassion to the Lopez family and each other as we navigate through this heartbreaking loss together.
