So sorry to see Cortez's passing. He was always a gentle and funny soul and always ready with a laugh and prank. Prayers are with Lorna and the rest of his family.

I spent alot of time hanging out with Cortez during college. He was funny and lovable person who will be missed. My wedding was on the 27th so I sadly could not attend. Praying for every family member in this difficult time.

I´ll always remember Cortez for his humor and kind heart. He was one of the first new friends I met when starting high school and his presence made the trumpet line so much fun. I´ll forever treasure those memories and I pray for much comfort and peace to his family.

I rode the bus with Cortez and his sister Loena! We all went to high school together and it was never a dull day on the bus or even at school. Losing a classmates friend and so much more. Praying for the family

Cortez was a sweet, goofy, kind kid that we all loved. He was a good friend to Russell, Drew, Uneko, and Jon. RIP and love on your grandmama! We are so sad to learn of this loss of life taken too soon. Condolences to loved ones he left behind.

I need to add a post. I will be avoidably out of town Saturday and unable to attend. I loved Cortez, he made it to Life Scout as I recall. I will always remember the imprint of a hamburger on his backside where he sat on the patty. It was cooked and eaten, of course. And I remember him coming to me on one trip saying..."Mistuh Danny, I be Honnngry!" So of course, I´m sure I told him to go cook something to eat! Like all my Scouts, he never gave me any trouble. He was a good kid. And if he wasn´t, it was Ms. Georgia he would have to face. I am sorry to lose him from this world. Rest in Peace Cortez. Thankyou for the wonderful memories.

Cortez was a friend of mine. I will always remember him. He stayed with my family one summer. He was always nice and courteous, sweet and kind. I had not seen him in a while, but I will always remember him for his kindness and respect. Rest well my friend.
