Rene Ortega, 56, Los Fresnos, Texas passed away on Friday, November 14,2025 surrounded by his loving family. Our beloved father, Rene Ortega, a devoted family man and a steady source of strength, love, and guidance. As a proud father of four, he dedicated his life to putting his family first. Rene loved going to his family's sporting events and memorable milestones. Every decision he made, every sacrifice, every moment of encouragement was rooted in the deep love he had for his children and granddaughter.
He had a true passion for sports—especially football, was a loyal fan to the Dallas Cowboys and his college teams: Texas Longhorns, Norte Dame, Florida State and Penn State. He also loved the game of golf—which brought him joy throughout his life to be able to spend it with his son, Rene Alejandro who will always be his Champ, and with his daughter Cari. Whether he was watching a game at home, or enjoying a meal at his favorite restaurants with his kids, talking plays and highlights, sports, that was always a part of his heartbeat. He also was known for enjoying the simple pleasures, like picking up his lotto tickets and hoping for that lucky win, always with a smile and a sense of optimism. He was a hardworking man who never stopped pushing forward. His work ethic was unmatched, and he carried himself with a quiet strength that inspired everyone around him. Even in the toughest moments, he fought with everything he had, showing us what resilience truly looks like. Among all the joys in his life, his greatest soft spot was his one and only granddaughter, Selena Renee who brought him endless light and pride. Their bond was something precious and unbreakable. He fought hard until the very end, and his courage, loyalty, and love will forever live in our hearts. His legacy—built on dedication, kindness, and unwavering love—he was someone you could always go to for advice and he would listen and be honest with you. He will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever cherished.And now, he is without a doubt asking God to enter his Kingdom with his famous line, "Fire up the jet, I'm ready."
