Roger Ortega
January 27, 1949 — November 22, 2018
Roger Ortega, 69, was born on January 27, 1949 in Waco, Texas to Peter Ortega and Mary Louise Martinez and entered into eternal rest on November 22, 2018 in West Covina, California.
Roger was a hard working lead supervisor for Cal Trans for over 27 years.
Roger was also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and earned an Honorable Discharge for his years fighting bravely for our freedom.
Roger Ortega was a man loved and adored by many! Roger loved his family and friends and especially loved the Lord. He read his bible everyday. If you knew Roger, you’d know he was proud to be a Marine and an American. Some of his favorite things to do were listening to music, reading, telling jokes, exercising daily, and going to the movies. Roger was quite a sports fan. His favorite teams were the Chicago Cubs, Bears, and Bulls, and any sport of the UCLA Bruins. His favorite greeting when he would come to visit was “hello my family who loves me”.
Roger leaves behind his loving family: Daughter, Melissa Ortega of East Los Angeles, California, Daughter, Krista Ortega of Oxnard, California, Brother, Rudolph Ortega of Portland, Oregon, Sister, Lydia Ortega of San Diego, California, Brother, Ray Ortega of Las Vegas, Nevada, Sister, Roberta Liscano of La Mirada, California, Brother, Michael Ortega of El Monte, California, 6 nephews, 5 nieces, 7 great-nephews, 4 great-nieces, as well as several other family members and friends who loved him and will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, Roger’s family has requested that a donation be made in his name to the Wounded Warrior Project:
