With a heavy heart I announce the passing of my beloved son, Carlos Ernesto Ortega Jr. as We're still grieving the loss of our beloved son, who was taken from us too soon in a hit-and-run accident. He was an amazing person with a heart of gold, always putting others before himself and spreading love and kindness wherever he went. He was a protector, a friend, and a source of joy to our family and friends.

He was respectful, loyal, and had a strong sense of responsibility. He had so much potential and a bright future ahead of him. He was just starting to explore his passion for fitness and was planning to start college to pursue a career in HVAC. He was also passionate about fashion and was working on his own clothing brand, designing motivational clothing that inspired others.

His smile could light up a room, and his love for life was contagious. We're still trying to come to terms with this devastating loss. Our hearts are heavy, but we're grateful for the love and support of our community during this difficult time. If you'd like to support us, donations are being accepted to help with expenses.
