Brian Peter Ortiz

Brian Peter Ortiz was born 5/31/1982 and passed peacefully 7/3/2025 with his parents by his side. Brian was born with disabilities that required full care and support but he brought so much joy to all the people that knew him and loved him. He loved pounding on his piano and making noise that everyone knew meant he was happy. Brian had been a resident of Hillside House since 2015 and will be missed by all who knew and loved him especially his father Pete who spent time with him everyday talking and playing his favorite music.
Brian is survived by his parents Pete and Cindy; his brother Tony Ortiz and Tony’s wife Brianne and daughter Kira; and many aunts, uncles and cousins who played a big part in the quality of his too short life.

Brian’s parents wish to thank the staff at Hillside House for the loving care Brian received and the amazing nurses at Cottage Hospital that helped us through the difficult process.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be on 7/20/2025. Contact family for details.
