Gus was born in Villa Nueva, Texas on May 28, 1931 to Encarnacion and Maria Lopez. On September 8, 1952 he married Raquel Maldonado in Sinton, Texas and they enjoyed over 62 years of marriage. Gus and Raquel moved to Olustee where they raised eleven children and Gus resided in Olustee for over 56 years. Gus was a hardworking man who knew how to work the ground. His days would start early in the morning driving tractors, tilling, plowing, and planting. He was a farmer"s helper and worked for Pete Fessenden for over 25 years and also Dale Bilbrey for an additional five years and Western Hull sacking for ten years for Bill Box. He would come home from a full and busy day and continue his work by feeding his chickens, roosters, and dogs and finally would sit down to eat dinner with his wife and children. Gus was a man that had faith and believed and he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. He always made his children attend the house of God every Wednesday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday night. Gus was a jokester and he loved to laugh. He would always make time for his hobbies, racing grey hounds, cockfighting, and he loved to watch professional boxing. Gus was a good dad, loving and disciplining, he instilled in his children the importance of hard work, he did it all, and he will be greatly missed.
