Theodore Ornelas Obituary

Ornelas Sr.

Theodore "Ted" Joseph

Ornelas Sr.

December 27, 1927

October 8, 2021



Theodore J. Ornelas Sr., born to Louis C. Sr. and Nikki Ornelas, passed away peacefully in Colorado Springs. He is survived by his sons, Theodore Jr., and Robert Ornelas; grandson Dustin Ross, and great-grandchildren Jaylynn, Sage, and Daunte.



Theodore (Ted) was a "car guy", spending his career in various branches of the auto industry, culminating in sales until his retirement. Ted was known to all as a sharp dresser, always immaculately attired, which was certainly a testament to his success in the car biz.



Later in life, Ted took up golf; and was so proud of the Hole in One he shot at Valley Hi Golf Course.



Ted will be dearly missed by his friends and family.
