With heavy hearts, we are sharing the passing of our beloved Mariano Ortiz. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, a proud grandfather, and a cherished great-grandfather. Family was everything to him. He had a quiet strength about him, the kind of man who showed his love through his actions. Whether it was working hard to provide for us, offering steady advice, or simply being there when we needed him most, he was our foundation.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and kindness. His grandchildren will forever remember his warm smile, his stories, and the way he made each of them feel special. He taught us the importance of family, faith, and standing by one another through every season of life.

As we navigate this heartbreaking loss, we are also facing unexpected medical expenses and funeral costs. We are asking for help to honor him with the farewell he deserves and to ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Donations can also be sent directly via Zelle to Teresa Ortiz at 240-535- 7187 for those who prefer to give that way.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, we simply ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and share this with others.

Thank you for your love and support.

Warmly,

Ortiz Family
