He is proceeded in death by his one and only beloved son Angel Ray Ortiz, Mother Frances Santiago, Brothers David Aracon, Danny Aracon, George Santiago and sister Barbara Santiago.
Jack was loving, caring and most of all funny. His sense of humor and playful attitude will be missed most by his grandchildren especially his youngest grandson Eli Ortiz his “parooshkidoosh”. Jack was known for his nick names for his loved ones, everyone had their own special name made up by him. He loved his family dearly especially his wife, one and only son and his grandchildren.
He loved to baby sit his grandchildren after becoming injured from his career as a forklift driver he spent most of his time watching his grandchildren with his wife Connie and loved bragging about them. He loved helping his family and friends with their cars he spent allot of time fixing people’s cars including his son and daughters when they needed their tire, breaks or oil changed he was there and would say “that’s what I’m here for”. He loved listening oldies, saying things like “that’s my song Connie”. Jack will be deeply missed, he had a giving heart he loved his family the most his sisters and brother were dear to him. He missed his mother and son the most and we are confident he is happy to be home with them.
