It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Felix Alfonso Ortiz Barahona, who departed this life on April 30, 2025, at the age of 55, following a brief illness.

He was born on July 27, 1969, in Tecoluca, San Vicente, El Salvador, where he attended local schools and embraced his love of soccer.
Felix was the cherished son of the late Jeronimo Barahona and Dolores Ortiz. He found companionship and love in his wife, Sandra Elizabeth Perez Martinez, to whom he was married for 35 years. Together, they raised a beautiful family consisting of their son, Jeronimo Ortiz, together with his wife Katheryn Jovel and four beloved daughters: Jaqueline, Gabriela, Magdalena, and Veronica Ortiz. Felix's legacy will continue through his cherished grandchildren: Lupita, Genesis, Sophia, Salome, Alex, and Sebastian Ortiz.
In pursuit of a better life, Felix migrated to the United States twenty years ago, settling first in Revere and Chelsea before moving to Lynn a year ago. He was a talented carpenter and woodworker, he founded FO Hardwood Flooring eight years ago, where he crafted and installed custom hardwood floors that brought beauty to many homes. Through his profession, he demonstrated the value of hard work and dedication.

His involvement included orchestrating fundraisers and serving as the Parish Media Director, broadcasting church services over the internet. He shared his love of gospel music, cherished time spent at the beach and passionately attended his son's soccer games. Always a reliable friend, Felix was known for his generosity and often volunteered as a designated driver to safely transport family and friends.
