Ivan Patricio Plaza Ortega was born in Cuenca, Ecuador on March 31, 1964. He came to California as a young man in his 20s. He met and married his wife and loved his 6 children. Ivan will be remembered as a man that had the biggest loving heart. He loved his grandchildren all 6 of them. He never judged anyone and was always there to listen. His favorite hobbies were spending time with his family especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed the pool, going out to eat at different restaurants and going to the casino. On March 2020 he became sick with COVID-19. He was admitted to the ICU and intubated on April 8th. He fought for a month and fought till the very end he fought for his family to be by his side at his last moments. On May 8th, God saw him getting tired and knew he would never get better again so he put his arms around him and whispered “come to me”. Also leaving behind 4 brothers, a sister and his mother. It broke his families heart to lose him but they know he is no longer suffering and they have gained an angel. Although the family knew he was sick, to them it was untimely. They were full of hope that he would recover. Because this was unexpected to the family, we are asking to help them with funeral and burial arrangements. This loving big hearted man deserved a proper service. This is the first death in the family and they are truly grieving. Anything helps and his family would be very grateful.

Ivan Patricio Plaza Ortega nació en Cuenca, Ecuador, el 31 de marzo de 1964. Vino a California cuando era joven y tenía unos 20 años. Conoció y se casó con su esposa y amaba a su 6 hijos. Ivan será recordado como un hombre que tuvo el mayor corazón amoroso. Amaba a sus nietos, los 6 de ellos. Nunca juzgaba a nadie y siempre estaba allí para escuchar. Sus pasatiempos favoritos eran pasar tiempo con su familia, especialmente con sus nietos. Le gustaba la piscina, salir a comer a diferentes restaurantes e ir al casino. En marzo de 2020 se enfermó de covid-19. Fue ingresado en la UCI e intubado el 8 de abril. Luchó durante un mes y luchó hasta el final, luchó para que su familia estuviera a su lado en sus últimos momentos. El 8 de mayo, Dios lo vio cansarse y supo que nunca volvería a mejorar, así que lo abrazó y susurró "ven a mí". Le rompió el corazón a su familia perderlo, pero saben que ya no está sufriendo y han ganado un ángel. Aunque la familia sabía que estaba enfermo, para ellos fue inoportuno. Estaban llenos de esperanza de que se recuperara. Debido a que esto fue inesperado para la familia, estamos pidiendo ayudarlos con los arreglos para el funeral y el entierro. Este amoroso hombre de gran corazón merecía un servicio adecuado. Cualquier cosa ayuda y su familia estaría muy agradecida.
