“Beto”, as he was known was born October 15, 1942 in Michoacán, Mexico to Jesus and Socorro Ortiz and was raised and schooled there. He came to California and to Lindsay in 1972 and worked as a farm laborer until his health no longer allowed him to do so. He enjoyed music and playing the guitar; gardening and raising vegetables. Beto loved fishing and also being in ministry. Just recently he helped establish the Victory Outreach Church in Strathmore “Alcansa Victoria” and was looking forward to being a part of the work there. He loved sharing his faith and beliefs with anyone who would listen.
