Ernesto Arteaga Obituary, Cause Of Death – Ernesto “Neto” Arteaga, a beloved father, grandfather, son, brother, and uncle, departed this world peacefully on February 7th, 2024, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 53. Born on November 13th, 1970, in Laredo, Michoacán, Mexico, Neto was renowned for his fierce love and spirited nature, which remained steadfast until his final moments.
Neto held his three surviving children, Alexis, Ernesto, and Celeste, dear to his heart and delighted in being a “Pampa” to his four surviving grandchildren, Mia, Layla, Emilia, and Adan. He was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Luna, and his grandmother, Esperanza. Neto’s children, grandchildren, mother, Imelda, father, Rodolfo, siblings, Rudy, Favian, Sandra, and Paloma, and the mother of his children, Raquel, all mourn his loss profoundly.
To know Neto was to adore him. He exuded an irresistible charm and an infectious laugh, earning him the title of “the Mexican Jim Carrey” by his adoring nieces and nephews. He regaled everyone with his humorous anecdotes and bestowed playful nicknames upon all, affectionately dubbing his children as his “Fuddy Duddy,” “Sucka,” and “Little Skittle.”
In addition to his comedic flair, Neto possessed a passion for singing, often serenading his loved ones with heartfelt renditions of his favorite 80s love ballads. He also showcased his culinary talents, preparing meals with love and ensuring everyone was well-fed before taking a bite himself.
The void left by Neto’s passing will be deeply felt, but his memory will endure in the hearts of those who were touched by his love and laughter.
