OBITUARY
Israel Ostolaza Ortiz Jr., 63, was born on November 16, 1962, in Jayuya, Puerto Rico, to Israel Ostolaza Sr. and Carmen Mercedes Ortiz.
In 1966, at four years old, Israel moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York, where he spent most of his life.
After coming to know Jehovah, Israel dedicated his life to serving Him and was baptized in 1990. His faith became central to his life, and he found great joy in sharing the hope he found in the Bible.
Whether speaking with longtime friends or someone he had just met, he rarely missed an opportunity to talk about his beliefs.
On October 18, 2013, Israel married Alvida Gonzalez. In 2017, they made Texas their home, where they built a life together with his youngest daughter, Hope Angelina Ostolaza.
Israel spent much of his life working as an automobile mechanic, a trade he truly loved. He was always willing to share his knowledge, offering advice or helping to diagnose vehicle problems whenever someone needed a hand.
Outside of work, Israel enjoyed riding his motorcycle, maintaining his saltwater aquarium, DJing, and watching movies. He was known for striking up conversations wherever he went and became a familiar face around Copperas Cove.
Israel will be remembered for his faith, his willingness to help others, his passion for mechanics, and his love for sharing what mattered most to him.
He is lovingly survived by his wife, Alvida Gonzalez; his children, Israel David, Ericka, Roxanna, Victoria, Francis, Sasha, and Hope Angelina; his grandchildren; siblings; and many extended family members, dear friends, and brothers and sisters in the faith, all of whom will cherish his memory.
