Jorge Havir Portillo passed away October 20th, 2021 after a 25-year battle with a rare renal disease. He is survived by his mother, Ruth Romanowski, brother, Russell Johnson; sister, Carolina Hamilton; large extended family and many loved ones and friends.

Celebration Of Life
Dear Portillo family, I’m sorry for your loss and you have my deepest condolences. The loss of a loved one brings great pain and sorrow but you can gain comfort from Gods word the Bible. Acts 24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection” so you can see your dear loved one again. A promise from our loving Heavenly Father. I hope this was a source of encouragement for the family.
I worked at Aberdeen several years ago and Jorge was one of my favorite patients. He was always smiling. Praying for y’all to find comfort and peace
