Geraldo Ortiz-Jimenez Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 14, 2016.
Geraldo A. Ortiz-Jimenez, 25, died June 12, 2016, in the shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

He flew to Orlando from his home in Puerto Rico Friday to catch a concert at the Amway Center.

Ortiz, whom everyone called Drake, snapped photos at Madame Tussauds before he watched Selena Gomez and DNCE perform Friday night, according to posts he made on Facebook and Instagram.

"With the love of my life," Ortiz wrote in Spanish on his Instagram account as he posed for a photo with the wax figure of Selena Gomez.

Friends commented about hanging out with him at the gym.

"You'll be missed at the gym here in PR (Puerto Rico)," one friend wrote on Facebook.

Ortiz listed his profession as actor and dancer.
