I’m heartbroken to share that my cousin Antonio (Tino) Ortiz, the youngest son of Albert and Linda Ortiz, was in a car accident and has passed away. Tino was a kind-hearted, bright, and loving young man who loved nothing more than spending time with his family and friends. It’s hard to put into words just how much he’ll be missed.

Right now, the Ortiz family is going through something no parent or sibling should ever have to face. On top of grieving this unimaginable loss, they’re dealing with very unexpected expenses like funeral costs and the need to take time off work.

I’m putting this fundraiser together to help them out and hopefully take some of the financial burden off their shoulders. If you’re not in a place to donate, I totally understand. Even just sharing this page would be a huge help.

One thing I’d like to ask is that everyone please hold off on reaching out to Albert, Linda, or anyone in the family for now. They need a little space to process everything, but your love and support mean so much to them.

Thank you for being here for the Ortiz family during this really tough time.
