Sad news, our Comedian Friend Cain Lopez passed away at 2:00 PM Thursday July 9th, 2009. He was hospitalized since May 30th for an illness that was later found to be lung cancer.
Cain was diagnosed and treated for jaw cancer back in 2003. He reportedly was having trouble breathing back in May 2009 and was admitted to the hospital where he’s diagnosed with some form of lung cancer.
Cain’s family were by his side during his stay in the ICU. Many of his comedian friends visited him during his last few days. A pleasant surprise came from George Lopez who left a moving message through Darren Carter.
I saw Cain Lopez performed number of times before introduced to him by Darren Carter. I took Lopez’s picture at Denny’s in Fullerton on December 23rd, 2009.
