Raul Fernandez Ortiz

Raul Fernandez Ortiz, a man of extraordinary charisma and unwavering loyalty, took his final bow on January 12th, 2026. Born on October 18th, 1957, in Colonia, Anáhuac, Chihuahua, Mexico, Raul was the embodiment of adventure and love. His life was a testament to the words of Helen Keller, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

Raul's adventurous spirit led him from his birthplace in Mexico to San Diego, and then to Ogden, Utah. As a skilled and dedicated carpenter, Raul's work was more than just construction; it was an expression of his love for his craft and his commitment to providing for his family, which meant everything to him. His left a lasting impression with everyone he met.

Raul will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by his devoted wife, Sofia Serrano, his loving parents, Humberto and Ramona Fernandez, and his cherished sister's, Maricela and Elizabeth. His charisma and infectious smile left an indelible mark on everyone he met, making every interaction a memorable one. As we mourn the loss of Raul, we also celebrate his life, characterized by love, loyalty, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure.

On Saturday, January 17th, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., we invite you to join us at Myers Mortuary in Ogden, located at 845 Washington Boulevard, to celebrate and remember Raul's extraordinary life. As we gather to share our stories and memories, we can find solace in the lyrics of the song "Thy Will Be Done" by James Hilton

"If I leave this world tomorrow… don't you cry too long for me

I've been walkin' through the shadows… but there's a light I wanna see

Maybe God's got something greater… than this fight I couldn't win

So I'll close my eyes in silence… let His mercy pull me in

"Thy Will Be Done"… Lord I'm laying down my pride

…now I'm ready for the ride

If there's truth beyond this highway… past the pain and all the scars

Then take me home tonight… Lord I'm reachin' for the stars

…Ain't no preacher ever told me… what my heart already knew

There's a grace that don't need earning… and a love that don't let go

If Heaven's waitin' yonder… then I'm finally goin' home

Maybe God had a bigger plan… for me"
