Johnny F. Orosco, 73, of Fremont, passed away December 31, 2024. He was born in Floresville, TX, on January 18, 1951, to Cifrigedo and Carolina (Felan) Orosco.
An avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast, Johnny spent many joyful days riding around town, feeling the wind in his hair and embracing the freedom that the open road provided. Everyone in Fremont had probably seen Johnny cruising around town on his motorcycle at some point in time.
Johnny also knew how to have fun. His family has fond memories of getting together when they were younger to play softball and volleyball. Often these games left the confines of their yard and spread to the yards of neighbors, engaging them in a game or two as well.
Johnny is survived by his children, Johnny V. Orosco of Fremont, Gloria V. (Ricardo) Altamirano of Sandusky, Linda Arreola of Fremont; grandchildren, Braydn Klein, Torrie (Shane) Ruiz, Micaela Vargas, Angel (Corina) Vargas, Ricardo, Brayan, Cristian, Jonathan Altamirano-Valadez, Melinda (Nikolas) Alvelo, Andrew Smith, Israel Guzman, Mary Campbell; great-grandchildren, Olivia Czesak, Julian, Victor, Theo Navarro-Vargas, William Betchel and Nikolas Alvelo Jr.; sister, Ursula Maria Longoria, as well as many other siblings, and ex-wife, Gloria Orosco.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Cifrigedo Orosco and sister, Angelita Gonzales.
