Juan Ortiz

Dear

Family and Friends;

With a heavy heart we inform everyone that Juan O, passed away Saturday April 1st 2023

Our beloved Juanito aka Juancho is no longer suffering the pain and agony this world put him through, as you all know he was a special soul and he will be remembered by all his family and friends, coworkers and everyone who had the pleasure to meet him.

Juancho was a very strong person he was able to overcome many battles, when he was young there was no such thing as ️‍ LGBT support, law nor acceptance but that didn’t stop our (part time) Juanita to crumble that situation lead him to fall into drugs as comfort soon to create a codependency, and after losing his mom he was just lost in that stage.

Juancho fought that addiction for years, he Never gave up, with the help of his close circle he went into rehab and his life made a 360 turn.

Winning that battle he decide that wasn’t it for him and went back to school for he wanted to help other people whom was in the shoes he once was!

The rest was history he has become an inspiration for others letting us know your past doesn’t define you. If you want to change something take one step at the time and don’t take your sight away from your goal!

IF JUANCHO DID IT SO CAN YOU!

Unfortunately life isn’t always as we wanted it Juancho’s health started declining to the point we’re he was mostly living in hospitals as some of you already know he recently found out he had gout and was prescribed a medication that unfortunately gave him a bad reaction causing him to have “dress syndrome “ or so the doctors saying at the end we found out they miss diagnosed him and he actually had Steven Johnson syndrome. The time lost treating the wrong diagnosis was key and unfortunately cause him to loose his life!

We thank you in advance for any support you can provide weather it’s emotional, physical or financially

we welcome any memories you would like to share.
