He is survived by his wife Olga Leija, two daughters and their spouses Jessica & Victor Ortega, Ashley & Luke Garcia, Grandchildren Camila & Victoria Ortega, Nine siblings, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, bbq’s, family get-togethers, and sports.

He will truly be missed.
