Gerardo Ortegon, beloved partner, father, brother, and friend, passed away on 03/26/2026 surrounded by the love of his family. He was the devoted partner of Melissa, with whom he shared a life filled with love, resilience, and two daughters Victoria and Vanessa who were the center of his world.
A hardworking and determined man, he built his own business from the ground up. His dedication, grit, and pride in his work touched everyone who knew him. He was the kind of person who showed up — for his customers, his community, and especially his family.
He was a brother to many, part of a large and lively family where he held a special place in each sibling’s heart. His presence was steady, his humor unforgettable, and his loyalty unwavering. As an uncle, he was cherished by his many nieces and nephews, who adored his warmth, his stories, and the way he made each of them feel seen.
Above all, he will be remembered for his love — for Melissa, for his daughters, and for the family he held so close. His legacy lives on in the people he shaped, the lessons he taught, and the memories he leaves behind.
He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
