Help Us Bring Anthony Home to Puerto Rico

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

With heavy hearts, we share the unexpected passing our beloved Anthony Ortiz, on Monday, July 28th, 2025, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Anthony was a troubled soul who carried many burdens throughout his life. Though he often kept his distance, he was deeply loved by his family. That love never faded, even if we didn’t always get the chance to express it. It’s painful knowing we won’t have another moment to tell him how much he meant to us.

Our wish is to bring Anthony back home to Puerto Rico, where he can be laid to rest with dignity, surrounded by the place and people he came from. We are reaching out for support to help us raise $10,000 to cover:
• Transportation of his remains from Pennsylvania to Puerto Rico
• Cremation and funeral services
• Travel costs for close family members to be together for his farewell

This loss is difficult, and while no amount of money can ease the grief, your support can help us give Anthony the peaceful goodbye he deserves. Any donation, no matter the size, or simply sharing this page, would mean so much to our family.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and for helping us honor Anthony’s memory.

With love and gratitude,

The Ortiz Family


Hola a todos,

Con gran tristeza compartimos la inesperada pérdida de nuestro querido, Anthony Ortiz , quien falleció el lunes 28 de julio de 2025 en Filadelfia, Pensilvania

Anthony fue un alma atormentada que cargó con muchas dificultades a lo largo de su vida. Aunque muchas veces estuvo distante, su familia siempre lo quiso profundamente. Ese amor nunca desapareció, aunque no siempre tuvimos la oportunidad de expresarlo. Nos duele no haber podido decirle una vez más cuánto significaba para nosotros.

Nuestro deseo es llevar a Anthony de regreso a su hogar en Puerto Rico, para que pueda descansar en paz en la tierra que lo vio crecer, rodeado del cariño de su familia. Estamos pidiendo su apoyo para reunir $10,000, que nos ayudarán a cubrir:
• El traslado de sus restos desde Pensilvania a Puerto Rico
• Los gastos de cremación y servicios funerarios
• Viajes de familiares cercanos para poder despedirlo juntos

Este momento es muy difícil para nosotros. Aunque ninguna cantidad de dinero puede aliviar el dolor, su apoyo nos ayudaría a brindarle a Anthony una despedida digna y llena de amor. Cualquier donación, por pequeña que sea, o simplemente compartir esta página, será un gran apoyo.

Gracias por tenernos en sus pensamientos y por ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de Anthony.

Con amor y gratitud,

La Familia Ortiz
