Otto Woods, JR Obituary
Otto Lee Woods Jr., 59, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away peacefully at his home on August 24, 2025.
He was born in Riverside, California, in 1966 to Otto L. Woods Sr. and Joyce E. Woods.
Otto lived a full and hardworking life, dedicating many years to his career in commercial painting. Outside of work, he found joy in the outdoors, spending weekends at the lake with his jet ski, building and racing cars, and creating memories with his family. His time with loved ones was what he treasured most.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Otto L. Woods Sr. and Joyce E. Belcher; his grandmother Yvonne Schroer; his best friend and brother-in-law Steven Craig; his mother-in-law Janie Craig; and his youngest daughter Amber Woods.
Otto is survived by the love of his life for over 27 years, Lori A. Jaramillo; his daughter Lynne Swift; his grandchildren Amelia Abbott and Gavin Westcott; his son-in-law Chad Westcott; his sister Yvonne Cook; and his father-in-law William Craig.
