Aransas Pass– Alfredo” Freddy” Ortiz passed away on February 9, 2025. He was 61.

Freddy was born January 30, 1964 in Aransas Pass, Texas to Justina (Carrizales) and Bruno Ortiz. On behalf of Mary and all her extended family, we would like to thank you for joining us in celebrating Freddy’s life. Well, where do I start? I will start by sharing a secret with you all. Freddy was a man of very few words, and by few, I mean few. But to me Freddy was my best friend, my rock, my confidant and most of all he was the love of my life. Freddy was a friend to many people, and if you were one of his friends, rest assured you were his friend for life. Although he might not have been big on conversation (and I’m sure you all know that what I mean by that) in everything he ever said or did he meant it from the heart. I was blessed to be his wife, and the only time Freddy and I were ever apart was when we were at work. Although he will no longer be physically here by my side, Freddy will always and forever be in my heart. His Loving wife, Mary.

Preceding Freddy in death are his parents: Bruno and Justina Ortiz; sisters: Magdalena Ortiz and Dela Lopez; brothers: Concepcion Ortiz, Johnny Ortiz, Bruno “Cookie” Ortiz, Jr. and Domingo “Mingo” Ortiz; brothers-in-law: George Castro and Joe Vega; in-laws: Lillie Molina and Israel Pena and fur baby: Gizzy.
