Mia Marie Lopez, 1 month old, Savannah, Missouri, passed away Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
She was born November 12, 2022 in Overland Park, Kansas to Carli Crabtree and Deven Lopez.
Mia is a ray of sunshine that lit up our life and those around her. She was celebrated from the very start by family and friends. Mia was very active, strong willed, and resilient. She was loved by all of the doctors and nurses - she was definitely a crowd favorite. Mia would always make a little gun with her fingers, so her nickname in the NICU and to some outside, was “little pistol.” She also had another nickname of “Popeye,” because she initially only had her left eye open and she would open it wide and look all around. Her favorite time was spending time with Mom and Dad getting her hand hugs, holding their fingers, and smiling at them. Mia could brighten up anyone’s day - especially when she would open her big brown eyes and look for Mom and Dad at the sounds of their voices.
She was preceded in death by her great-grandfathers, Carl McDaniel, Dennis Lopez and Raymond Larabee; great-great aunt, Louise Cross; and great-great uncle, Tony Crabtree.
Survivors include her parents; grandparents, Mark and Beth Crabtree, Dennis Lopez, and Christina Larabee; great-grandparents, Cheryl McDaniel, BJ and Vernon Crabtree, Marcia Larabee, Mike Mathis, and Karen Lopez; aunts and uncles, Anthony and Ashley Crabtree, Amber and Kyle Boyer, Cayne Crabtree, Jared and Paden Larabee, and Nick and Darien Bowman; numerous cousins.
