My dearest friend Almita, and Ogaz family. My heart is broken for your profound loss. I will always remember how you shared and how proud you are of your family. Sharing in their accomplishments and their sorrows. Your journey during this difficult time will be never ending but know that you are not alone. Your faith will help you through this time. 
Please know that you will be in my daily prayers and I am but a phone call away.

Your friend ,
Cindy  ✝️🕊

My deepest condolences to the Ogaz family. I know that Ogaz Junior was a very special uncle, brother, son, and your dearest best friend Ogaz. May the Lord comfort you and your loved ones and give you His peace that passes all understanding.

im hungry dad, right before any job, though at times would not ear , give up his lunch so others could eat.

Saying goodbye is most difficult for anticipating your absence leaves an emptiness at Mesita ECDC. It is a void which you filled with your kindness and caring for many of us who had the honor and privilege of knowing and working with you. Those of us who shared our lunch shift with you (Rosario, Grace, Margie, and I and at times Oralia) will miss your presence at the “Head of the Table”.  We were never at a loss for words and opinions as you contributed  your knowledge and skills on science, history, technology, and other interesting and meaningful thoughts. You knew a lot  about a lot! For this reason, you earned another title: “El Profe”.
We shared memories of the past; we shared the trials and tribulations of the present; and we shared many unanswered questions of the unknown future. It was our time together to enjoy and appreciate the true meaning of “The Mesita Family”.
Thank you Mr. Ogaz  Jr. for always being there for us at ECDC. You led by example of professionalism in a job that is never finished. 
Thank you Mr. Ogaz Jr. for being who you were and always will be:
ONCE A MUSTANG; ALWAYS A MUSTANG!
You are now free to run like a triumphant Mustang;  growl like a ferocious Tiger; and with all of our love, you can now fly with the angels with the coolest and hi-tech wings ever! Soar!

Alma, I am truly sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of grief.

My Deepest Condolences Alma and to your Family.  There are no words may God give you strength thru this difficult time. God Bless!!!🙏🙏🙏

Alma, My condolescense to you and your family. May the Lord give you strength in these difficult moments. May he  give you peace and comfort.

There are no words to completely express the sadness that is felt as we say good bye to such an amazing young man. 

I would jokingly tell him that he was my favorite Ogaz. The first face I would see as I entered work at the ECDC. Ogaz Jr would always be there, drinking his monster drink, so friendly and welcoming in his own quiet humble way. He protected his little mustangs with such care and dedication. He loved them with a firm yet caring love that let them know…he spoke their language. He always made sure that they had what they needed, a straw in the lunchroom or a hug when injured…he was always there. 

My favorite memory is this year, we got a new student from another country. The student struggled to learn English at first, Ogaz was so gentle, patient, and caring helping this student adapt. For Christmas, he bought this student a light up helicopter. The gift lit up the eyes of the student. Many never knew that he gave these gifts to his kids, but that was just him….humble and caring. A big teddy bear with a heart of gold. 
Our transportation team will never be the same without his dedication to his job. He knew every students name that rode the bus (there were over 160). We would high five after a long or challenging day or week, I will miss those high fives. We planned on running a 5K together one day, I’m sad that I didn’t have that chance. 

I never had the chance to tell him how amazing he was, or how much I thought of him. I wish I did. 

Ogaz Sr, you did a great job raising a stellar human being. The world was better with him in it. I will miss him dearly. 

Oscar Jr, Guero…May you rest in heaven alongside the angels. Love you, my friend. 

Mr. Ogaz Jr., a great young man  always ready and willing to assist where needed. Thank you Ogaz Jr. for everything you did for all Mesita Mustangs.  Mr. Ogaz Sr., my deepest and most sincere condolences to you and your family.  We love you and know that you aren't alone as you have us, your Mesita family 💕

I remember meeting Little Oscar when his dad brought him to our Mesita Halloween Carnival when he was in 5th grade.  
As a Mesita teacher’s kid, you knew you  would be spending extra time there- maybe for the carnival, or on parent/teacher conference day, or on the night of the multicultural program.  You also knew that some of your summer vacation would be spent at Mesita, hanging out or helping or working and Little Oscar was one of those kids.  He would come with his dad and help out during our summer programming or whenever there was a need, so we got to see him grow up.  
And most recently, he worked with the PreK teachers and students at the ECDC. Everyday, I would see him taking great care of the baby Mustangs, walking with them through the halls, watching over them at recess, making sure they ate their breakfast in the classroom and helping them arrive and leave for the day.  I would joke with him that I was happy each building now had their own Ogaz, because they are always willing to lend a helping hand. 
He was definitely a chip off the old block and his kind, gentle manner will be greatly missed. I wish to send the entire Ogaz family, especially his dad Oscar,  my heartfelt condolences and comforting hugs.  We will miss you tremendously, Güero. 💙🙏🏻


Oscar Jr. “Guero” as his dad used to call him was respectful and kind to everyone.  During dismissal time at ECDC, he Always  made sure he had all the bus kids.   This year, a staff member had a tire incident on her way to school and I asked if she needed anything and she replied that she would need help to put the spare tire and since I didn’t have my jack, Mr. Ogaz Jr.  came to the rescue.  He got his tools and started taking the tire off effortlessly.  He was very skillful and he joked with me that by fixing cars and remodeling houses that’s how he and his dad made “real money”.  We finished (I held the tire, he did all the work 😂) before prep time ended.   Oscar Jr. was always willing to help and was always smiling as we came into work.  It’s a huge loss.  My condolences to the family.  May God give you the strength and peace through  this difficult time.  

Always our first welcoming greeting each and every morning. Our “have a good evening” at the end of the school day. The hours in between, his dedication to our little ones was steadfast. Sincere and genuine, honest and humble, gentle and so very kind. From our silver mustangs, he will forever be their “little bear.” Willing to help at the drop of a dime.  He often questioned the notes of appreciation that were sent his way, but he deserved them and so much more for the impact he made. 
The most sincerest condolences to the entire Ogaz family with our prayers of strength and fortitude. Mr. Ogaz Sr. thank you for sharing your son with us, what an incredible young man!

Exceptional at his work. Always on time. Kind and gentle with the kids at work. 
A teaching moment, say what you need to say when you have the opportunity. I appreciated him at work. 
My condolences to Oscar’s family. My heart felt condolences to my colleague, Mr. OGAZ.
