Jose Luis Ortiz-Gallegos

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jose Luis Ortiz-Gallegos, who left us unexpectedly at the age of 44 on March 5, 2025, in Colorado Springs, CO. Born with a strong work ethic and an infectious spirit, Jose's presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

Jose was a dedicated concrete flat-worker, bringing a sense of pride to every project he touched. Beyond his work, Jose enjoyed working on trucks and had a passion for the outdoors - he was an avid hunter and fisherman. He found peace in nature and joy in spending time with his loved ones during those cherished moments. 

Jose was a devoted family man, having married Nadine Macias on May 24, 2003. Together, they built a loving home and raised two wonderful sons, Jose Ortiz-Macias and Luis Ortiz-Macias. His wife, Nadine, and their sons were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Jose is also survived by his loving father, Josue Ortiz, his sisters, Perla Ortiz and Laura Ortiz, and countless extended family members, all of whom will hold his memory in their hearts forever. His laughter, kindness, and generosity left an indelible mark on those who knew him.

A celebration of Jose's life will be held on March 28th at 4pm, and we invite all those whose lives he touched to join us in honoring his memory. 

Jose will always be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his hard work, his creativity, and his joyful presence. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Rest in peace, Jose. Your spirit will never fade.
