Ramon Ortega, a loving, patient, and kind individual, passed away on January 5, 2026, at the age of 76. Born on January 3, 1950, Ramon was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, who will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
Ramon is survived by his devoted wife, Teresa; his daughter, Corina; son-in-law, Ernie; and his cherished grandchildren, Ava and Aiden. He is also remembered fondly by his sister-in-law, Geraldine.
Ramon was a mechanic who had a great love for cars, a passion that he pursued throughout his life. His dedication and enthusiasm for his work were admired by all who knew him.
Ramon will be laid to rest at Cypress View Mausoleum in San Diego.
In remembrance of Ramon, we reflect on the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi:
"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen."
