Benjamin "Benny" Ortega,40, was born on August 23, 1983, in Los Angeles, California to Nabor and Otilia Ortega. Benny entered into his eternal rest on October 11, 2023, in Lancaster, California.
Benny was a man who loved so deeply. Some of his loves were music, cars, art, making others laugh by being silly, tattoos, anything related to horror and the paranormal, and most of all his family. He would enjoy spending time with his wife, Wendy Serrano, and his two puppies, Dottie and Copper. He also very much enjoyed his outings to the swap meets and anywhere he could find his vintage treasures. He found Peace being in nature and was extremely proud of his Mexican Heritage. His personality was magnetic and made friends/connections wherever he went. Benny loved and enjoyed his family dearly and received various nicknames from them such as Bean-o, Benji, Bean, Benzo, and Benzino. His love for his parents was unmeasured along with his siblings, nieces, and nephews.
Benny is survived by his loving family: Parents, Nabor and Otilia Ortega, Partner, Wendy Serrano, brother, Nick Ortega, sister, Monika Padilla, and nieces and nephews: Nicky, Alex, Celeste, Thomas, and many other family members. Benny will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
Condolences for the family may be sent through our website.
