    No sabes cuántas veces comencé a escribir y cada vez se ma hacia más difícil porque no encontraba la manera para expresar tanto, solo se que fuiste un gran ser humano en todo el sentido de la palabra, no solo con la familia si no con todos, fuiste un esposo y padre ejemplar, un amigo sincero, un yerno orgulloso, un hermano incondicional, un tío fuera de liga, en fin, una persona ideal que todos quisieran tener y yo me siento tan orgulloso y doy gracias a dios de que fueras parte de nuestras vidas. Que Dios te reciba allá en el cielo para que cuides de nosotros. Te extrañaremos un mundo y no te olvidaremos 

We were at dinner at Bianca‘s with a whole group of friends and family. Jim Kelly (Sensei) was there with us and he had just gotten the new Bluetooth headset earpiece where he could communicate with everybody. He couldn’t seem to get it to work properly. It was the Fall time and they had a center piece on the table that had several small gourds and acorns in it. I looked over at PePe and he reached over and picked out one of the small gourds and held it up to his ear like one of the new earpiece Bluetooth devices that Sensei had on and then kept saying “ Jim do you hear me ???? Hello Jim do you hear me??? Oh I guess this works as good as you new Bluetooth device” it was so funny. Just one of the many time we spent together that PePe made us laugh. 

That, and the other time was when we had a family- friend night at his house. We were filming all kinds of skits and songs and the like., being silly. We have it on CD. And PePe decided to sing a song with me and my son Jordon. He reached over and put this Blue Sponge mop on his head and we were singing with him he was playing the guitar and singing away with all of us. He named our group the BLUE MAN GROUP.  Lol I will never forget that night 😂😂😂😂 we laughed for hours. 

God knows  that I will miss him. 
There was only one PePe.




I will never forget our get togethers in Frostproof dancing  with cousins and family. We had the greatest moments ever ❤️🙏God bless you and enjoy heaven with Jesus Lord!!! God Bless you Pito!!! ❤️❤️❤️, Brenda 

Vuela alto mi querido hermano,  nunca te olvidaré,  siempre vivirás en nuestros corazones.  Daina, Ricardo y sobrinos.

Hermano mio Te Amo con todo mi corazón Dios te bendiga y hasta luego❤️

Pedro whenever I saw you I knew I was ready to catch some kind of sarcasm regarding my football team or something work related.  You always went out of your way to keep the spirits of so many lifted.  The conversation we had that prior Friday about navigating the ups and downs of 2020s and in life in general will stay with me among the many laughs we shared.  May your soul continue to shine bright in the hearts of everyone you crossed paths with in life.  I'm going to miss you buddy.  You're in my heart everyday.  Rest In Peace.  

Very sad to hear this news.  The video tribute was beautiful.  Unfortunately I haven't seen or spoken with Pedro in about 20 years, but it was great to see his smile again in so many of those pictures.  He was just a really great guy.  I'm glad to have spent some time on this earth with him.  I certainly have some cherished memories and conversations with him.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family. 

Te vamos a extrañar mucho. Fuistes un gran ser humano , un gran Padre , Esposo , Hijo , Hermano y Amigo. Se que estás descansando en la presencia del Señor. Nos volveremos a encontrar. Descansa en Paz.

My fondest memory was the day we met at the Dojo. PePe sat next to me and could see the worry on my face as I watched my son encounter Sensei for the first time.  I remember him playing Jim off like he was no big deal and a big soft teddy bear. And all of the times when he taught me how to marinate and cook chicken correctly.  The most selfless man our family has ever known.  Always knew how to laugh at himself. Giving of his heart with nothing but unconditional love. He lived for his Jacqueline and his children and I believe with all of my heart that he will continue to do so from afar.  We should all learn to live like he has. We love you all Ortiz family.  -Matthew & Anna 

Mi amor te voy a extrañar dejaste un vacío en mi corazón pero se que Estás con mami y papi  siempre te recordaré, gracias por ser parte de mi vida Nos volveremos a ver. Te amo

I always remember how great it was to see my Tio. Specially when we got together on holidays. He was always so happy and cheerful to spend time with us. It also made him so happy to share time  with the younger kids, who also loved him dearly. You are missed and we will forever hold you in our hearts! 

One of my most favorite memories with PePe is when we were all in Miami for a karate tournament in his van heading to South Beach to fine Mark Anthony and Jennifer Lopez because they just got married and we ended up playing chicken in the middle of the street with a large hook and ladder fire engine. We were all laughing but PePe was not gonna back down. Rest In Peace my FRIEND. Xoxo 

Rest easy where the streets are made of gold, We will miss you so soo much Danny Zuko/Pepe♡ 
Love your Sandy/Jessica Adcock

I feel sure that everyone’s memories are going to include that wonderful,  chuckling, joyful smile.
What a lovely family man you were Pedro.
You were always so kind and warm to me and my children. We will remember you forever and smile whenever we think of you.

Always had such a wonderful smile and was so full of life. You will be missed dearly.
