In loving memory of

David Alberto Ordonez
January 5, 1962 - May 17, 2022

David Ordonez (age 60) passed away on May 17, 2022. He will be incredibly missed by his mother, Maria Melendez Ordonez, his brother Edward Ordonez, his sister Myrna Ordonez Engler and her husband Dr. David Engler, and his nieces Dr. Amy Engler and Kelly Engler, whom he adored. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his father Arnulfo Ordonez Heath.

David attended the University of Houston and studied international trade and commerce. He also attended Le Cordon Bleu School of cooking, specializing in French and Latin fusion. His knowledge of foods, plants, and flowers amazed all who met him, and he used that knowledge to create meals that were not only healthy but also delicious. With pride and joy he sourced the highest quality ingredients for meals that he lovingly prepared, and he shared that knowledge with everyone who was lucky enough to enjoy his cooking.

The last 12 years of his life, he devoted his time in sharing the role of caretaker with his sister of his beloved mother whom he treated with so much love, kindness, and respect.

His memory will be forever cherished, and we will carry him in our hearts eternally.
