At IA, we are never shy about our support for the men and women in blue that protect us. When we saw this hero WOD, we had to program it. We will host this WOD today in honor of Artie and all those who have fallen, especially in 2016.
“Police Officer Arthur “Artie” Lopez, 29, of Babylon Village, New York, was killed in the line of duty on Oct. 23, 2012. Officer Lopez, a decorated eight-year veteran of the force, was serving on the Emergency Services Unit at the Nassau County Police Department at the time of his death. He kept himself in peak physical condition for the job as a member of CrossFit Merrick in Bellmore, New York. Fran and Cindy were among his favorite workouts.
He is survived by his sister, Charo; and parents, Alfonso and Mirella.”
