MARK ANTHONY ORTEGA

Our Most Generous & Loving Friend

MARK ANTHONY ORTEGA

Born
26 June 1963, Albuquerque, NM
Died
19 August 2006, Albuquerque, NM

Our dear friend Mark was taken from us very suddenly and unexpected by a tragic auto accident. Only 43 years young, he was such a happy and vibrant soul, with an incredibly generous heart that touched the lives of everyone he met.

(EVERYONE is greatly encouraged to please share any and all thoughts, memories, & photos, etc., of Mark, but we would especially love to get as much as possible from all of his family and anyone that served in the military with him, in DESERT STORM!)

TO MARK & ALL HIS LOVED ONES TOO:
This is so hard for me, since my heart is hurting & this loss feels overwhelming and unbearable, but as I try & deal with all these difficult & confusing feelings of grief and disbelief, etc., I am realizing some things that are providing such a source of great comfort that I would really like to share them now:

Although Mark & I have been friends for several years, it has only been the last year or so that I have had the good fortune of getting to know Mark alot better and becoming very close friends! We discovered that we shared quite a few common interests & ideas, and throughout this period of time we spent countless hours just talking & talking about anything & everything!!!
