Frank "Frankie" Carlos Ortega Jr.

February 28, 1961 - January 23, 2021

Frankie passed peacefully in the comfort of his own home January 23rd, 2021 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was supported and surrounded by his loving family. Frankie was a great man with the heart of an angel, he touched the lives of so many. He was the man you could call when you needed help and he would be there. He showed up prepared for anything, even if it meant taking the shirt off his own back. He was always happy and always had a smile on his face. Frankie was a hard working man, he loved landscaping and the garden center. (Nick's Garden Center) Stubborn as he was, Frankie would get out of surgery and go straight to work. He didn’t let anything hold him back from living his best life. Frankie was the life of the party and loved to gamble. He would always find his way to the dance floor and bless us with his smooth dance moves and if that wasn’t enough he would pull out his wicked air guitar. The only thing he loved more than dancing and gambling was his family! Frankie is preceded in death by: His father Frank Ortega Sr, his Godfather Uncle Bobby Ortiz, Uncle Nick Ortega and many more. He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Jennifer Gonzales-Ortega (Paul/Selina and Grandchildren) and his children: Anthony Ortega; Teyanie Ortega; Francine Ortega and Alex Ortega (Lauren) Grandchildren: Christiyona Ortega; Arianna Ortega Eugene Vallejos; Estrella Vallejos; Esperanza Vallejos Elise Ortega; Gabriel Ortega Elena Ortega; Elias Ortega Great Grandchild: Joel Vallejos Mother: Virginia L Ortega Siblings: Ernest Ortega (Theresa); Tina Gallegos (Dean); Deborah Ortega (Jose); JoAnn Thompson (Rick) and Gary Ortega Service will be live on Youtube at this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCSz_Nda3-g&authuser=0
