David Ortega, 18, passed away unexpectedly on October 11, 2026, as the result of a motor vehicle accident. His passing leaves a profound sadness in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

David was the beloved son of Candelaria Ortega and a cherished brother to Daisey, Brian, Ian, and Jose. He was also a loving grandson, blessed to have his grandmother still with him, while remembering his grandfather who preceded him in death.

At just 18 years old, David had his whole life ahead of him. Though his time on this earth was far too short, the memories he created and the connections he shared with family and friends will forever hold a special place in their hearts. He was surrounded by many friends and family members whose lives were touched by his presence and who will deeply miss him.

David's unexpected passing is a heartbreaking reminder of how precious and fragile life can be. While his loved ones mourn the loss of a young life gone too soon, they can take comfort in the memories they shared, the love that will never fade, and the lasting impact he made on those around him.

David will forever be remembered and loved by his mother, siblings, grandmother, extended family, and many dear friends. Though he may no longer be physically present, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Gone too soon, but never forgotten. May David rest in eternal peace, and may his loved ones find strength, comfort, and healing in the days ahead.
