Happy Celestial Birthday Gerbil.  Thinking of you and missing you.  Love you.  Cookie x

Gerald , it’s been one year today, and it still hurts.  I think about you all the time.  I wish I could just see your face in a humorous situation and laugh until we cry.  I miss you dear Gerbil.   Love you x

📸One day I was sitting on a sunny patio in West Hollywood, when I was texted a photo of ME SITTING ON A SUNNY PATIO IN WEST HOLLYWOOD... My friend Gerald Ortega  was standing across the street coming over to meet us. You were a great co-worker & even better friend. I'm certain that you are in a place making someone laugh hysterically or helping them with their wardrobe choices. Until we meet again on a sunny patio, you'll be missed my sweet friend 🌞💔

Gerald was a funny and kind man. He always new how to make people laugh. I enjoyed him being a part of our family. We had many visits full of so many memories. My favorite was our trip to LA in 2011. He was the best tour guide, along with Uncle Rocky. We visited all the major tourist things, art museums, famous roads, went hiking, and went to the Hollywood Bowl. Too many wonderful memories to choose from. He will be forever missed in our family. 

Gerald was hilarious and so kind!   He made my day whenever we spoke or saw each other.  I loved him from way back in high school, and enjoyed every moment.   I will treasure those memories forever!  He will be deeply missed.  

Gerald always had the ability to make people laugh...to turn a negative or sad situation into something fun and positive.  His quirks and personality fit him so well and enveloped those around him.  I remember his visit back in December to SC when he came to our house.  It was only the second or third time he had been there, but it was like he visited every weekend.  Family is what you are born into but it is also what you choose.  I'm so glad Gerald chose to be part of our family and we will forever be better people because of him.  

Gerald I will forever miss my friend. We shared sarcasm with each other and friendship and good memories. I will never forget my compadre. Thank you for sharing things with me, I was honored.  Friends from High School and forever more.  Love you and will miss you! Until we meet again..

To Gerald's Family, I send my deepest condolences.  Gerald was a wonderful person who I miss now, and will miss forever.  I remember the first day I met him 36 years ago.  We immediately became friends.  I will never forget his fast talking, his incredible sense of humor, and all the artistic and culinary talents he had.  He was there for every milestone in my life...relationships, new cars, vacations, music, my wedding day...I will always be glad that he came into my life.  It was a blessing to know him.  I love you darling Gerald.  Always, Always, Always...Cookie

My condolences go to the Ortega Family. I am so sorry for your loss and have you in prayers, may Gerald, Rest In Peace. 

Sincerely,
Chris Martinez & Family 

My sincerest condolences to the Ortega family.  May Gerald rest in eternal peace!

My Uncle, my best friend and constant ally. I am heartbroken to lose you and am at a loss in my daily routine. The constant conversations throughout the day, video calls at night and random messaging off and on throughout our days I am going to truly miss. The way you would do filters and games were the funniest. When you visited here you interacted with my kids in such a way that it had made their day  and there was never a doubt how much you loved them and myself. I will cherish all our memories and miss the phone calls when you were traveling to ask me which color scarf I would like before sending them to Grandma, Mom and myself. I will miss receiving the daily recipes of foods you want me to bake for you and how you looked forward to me sending you Christmas cookies. I will always laugh at the memory of you beatboxing when I would  call and tell you Fat Boys was playing on the radio. No one could ever replace such a unique, articulate, cultured and fun individual that is so dear to my heart. I will never forget all the times we shared and the bond that we have can never be broken. I will always love and miss you. 

Gerald was such a funny guy.  Every day I looked forward to talking with him just knowing he will share one of his crazy over the top crazy weekend stories with me.  It is really hard to believe that he is gone - it almost feel like a dream that I can't wake up from.  Gerald's friendship meant a lot to me and he's going to be missed every day.  I send my love and prayers to his family.  I love you Gerald and you will definitely be missed.
Love always your friend and co-worker Donita Barnes
