He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Jose and Santana Candelario; paternal grandparents, Mark and Marie Ortiz; brother-in-law, William Darrell Davis.
Nevin is survived by his parents, Joseph Lucas and Violet Ann Ortiz of the family home; wife, Lynell Ortiz; sons, Nevin Ortiz Jr., Jermain and Kayden Ortega; sisters, Jolene Davis, Darlene Ortiz and Angelina Rodriguez; brothers, Merlin, Alvin and Kevin Ortiz; Godson, Tabian Flores all from Alamogordo; father-in-law, Neills Kaydahzinne, from Tularosa; sister-in law, Kathryn Kaydahzinne; brothers-in-law, Jerome and Joel Antonio all from Mescalero and many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, one great-niece, many cousins, friends and his beloved dog Tiy’aani.
He was the youngest of 6 children. Nevin was a loving, caring person, generous, big hearted and would do anything to help people in need. He would go help if you were stranded and give his clothes off his back to a friend in need. He worked 20 years at the Kwik Lube in Alamogordo and met people from all over. He also got to travel across the states alone which he truly enjoyed to see outside of New Mexico. He married his wife Lynell in 2012 in Mescalero. He raised her 2 boys along with Nevin Jr. and loved them all very much. He loved spending time with his family. All the nieces and nephews enjoyed hanging out with their Uncle Buzz.
Nevin was the biggest fan of the Raider Nation and LA Dodgers and on Sunday’s he would be watching football or hanging out with his dad watching wrestling. Food, let’s have a BBQ or go out to eat and enjoyed all the feasts with his family whether it be in Acoma/Laguna or Mescalero and even at moms was a feast especially for all those family get togethers. We all had so much fun when he was a little boy. His sister would take both our younger brothers on bike rides. We will cherish all the memories we have in our heart about you baby brother.
Nevin, you will be dearly missed by your family.
