Meliton served in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged in 1946. He lived on the Camarillo Ranch all his life. He was longtime foreman for Adolfo Camarillo.

He is preceded in death by his wife Felicitas, mother Francisca, and brothers Joe and Walter.
Meliton is survived by his brother Manual, son Reynaldo R. Ortiz and daughter-in-law Shirley, daughter Rachael O. Vasquez, grandchildren Gina Beck (Michael), Reynaldo R. Ortiz Jr., Gustavo Vasquez (Lynn), Veronica Fusaro Barnett, Raquel Vasquez Perez, nine great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
