Ismael Ontiveros

June 1, 1982 - April 21, 2024

Ismael Ontiveros, Beloved Son, Father, Brother, and Friend.

Ismael (Izzy) Ontiveros, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, was a cherished son of Amelia and Jesus Pasillas, a beloved brother to Joel Ontiveros, Irene Pasillas, and Sonya Pasillas, and father to Destany and Talia Ontiveros. In addition, he was an admired uncle to his many nieces and nephews. His life, though seemingly short, overflowed with the richness of his character and the warmth of his spirit.

Ismael embodied loyalty, honesty, and an unwavering loving character. From his earliest days, he displayed a remarkable talent for baseball, enchanting all who witnessed his prowess on the field. Yet, beyond his athletic achievements as a child, Ismael's true passion lay in the art of music. With every chord and melody, he poured his heart out, sharing his innermost emotions with the world.

His smile and laughter were infectious, his humor a beacon of light in the lives of those around him. Ismael had a knack for the playful, a quality that endeared him to friends and family alike. Whether through a witty remark or a spontaneous clowning, he brought joy to all who crossed his path.

As we gather to celebrate Ismael's life on May 4th, 2024, let us not mourn the loss of his physical presence, but rather cherish the memories he has gifted us. Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit will forever linger in our hearts, a reminder of the love and laughter he shared so generously.

May his legacy endure, and may we find solace in the knowledge that Ismael Ontiveros touched our lives in ways that words alone cannot express.

Please gather with us on May 4th, 2024, at Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church located at 1375 Spring Ln, Holladay, Utah 84117. Family visitation begins at 10 a.m. followed by mass at 11 a.m., ending with a luncheon.

I miss you more and more with each passing minute. My dad was the most amazing, funny, passionate, and talented man. Anytime we sat in the studio with eachother recording music I felt at home. I never felt more like myself than when I was with my dad. He brought all my good qualities out. I miss my dads hugs, I miss the way my dad would kiss me on the head and cheek, I miss the way my dad would tell me he's proud of me and I'm doing an amazing job with the baby. I'll never forget all the memories I have with my dad. I remember being 4 years old,sleeping over at grandmas and dad was asleep in his room. Dad got me a princess bed that folded into a couch, I was asleep on my princess bed and I woke up before anyone. I picked up my bed, put it on dads and I went right to sleep with him. He laughed at me tucked me in, and we went to sleep. I remember dad showing me how to eat a sunflower seed when I was 5. all my dad cared about was his family. My dad always talked about how important family was, how it was the only thing that mattered. I miss you so much dad. I'll never be the same without you.  I miss you so much. I love you. I hope you're resting in peace. I'll pray to you everyday for the rest of my life! I promise to keep your name living, to continue to make you proud, and I promise you dad I'll never stop making music until I make it. For you. Everything I do will be for you and the baby. I love you dad I miss you so much. I hurt without you, but I know you're in a better place. I love you dad.

Izzy we were neighbor on Roberta street. That where we grew up together. We were down stairs neighbors. It was alway you and the boys (Daniel, and Antonio) I'd be sitting on the stairs you guys would come home always asking how I was. You told me you'd always be there if someone messed with me. I will miss you Izzy! Rest in peace Izzy!

I'm so sorry for your family's sudden loss. I didn't know Ish for very long but it was easy to see that his heart was huge and his loyalty fierce. In the short time I knew him I always looked forward to running into him out on them streets. I know he wanted better than what we were out there doing and I damn sure know it wasn't gonna be too long till he got shit figured out and was able to rise above the bullshit. I will fight that fight and keep your memory on my mind while knowing that you would have been good at that just like you were good at everything  else you chose to do in the little time I got to know you. I absolutely know you are missed greatly out there. Via con dios my friend, I hope to run into you in the next life. Goodbye ISH.
