Edwin Hortet Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 20, 2025.
Edwin Andrés Hortet passed away on July 19, 2025, in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. His passing marks the loss of a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend.

Born in Medellín, Colombia, Edwin was a true parcero, charming, loyal, and full of heart. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Whether through a smile, a story, or a shared laugh, Edwin touched lives with ease and authenticity.

Above all else, Edwin was a family man. His greatest joy and deepest sense of purpose came from loving, protecting, and supporting his family. He was a devoted husband to Cristina, with whom he shared a beautiful life built on partnership, laughter, and unconditional love. As a father, Edwin was fiercely proud of his sons, Andres and Camilo. He celebrated their successes, guided them with wisdom and humility, and lived each day with the hope of leaving them an example of strength, love, and integrity. His family was the center of his world, and his commitment to them never wavered.

Edwin also had a deep love for travel and embraced every opportunity to experience something new. He found joy in discovering new places and sharing those adventures with the people he loved. His voracious love for life was one of his most defining qualities.

He had a true passion for movement. As an avid runner and cyclist-and a multiple-time marathoner-Edwin thrived on challenge. Being active wasn't just a hobby; it was a way of life that gave him clarity, energy, and purpose.

When it was time to unwind, Edwin knew how to enjoy the moment. He could often be found lounging in the pool with a cigar in hand, soaking in the sun, the breeze, and the good life, always with a calm smile and a grateful heart.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cristina Hortet, and their sons, Andres Hortet and Camilo Hortet, who carry forward his legacy with pride and love. He is also survived by his siblings, Federico, Alex, Enrique, and Patricia, along with a multitude of dear friends and extended family members whose lives he deeply impacted. He now reunites in spirit with his beloved brother-in-law, Dean Anthony.

A man of deep faith, Edwin lived his life rooted in Catholic values. His spirituality guided his actions and shaped the way he loved, with patience, compassion, and unwavering dedication to those around him.

May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him and continue to inspire those who had the blessing of sharing in his journey.

Edwin Andrés Hortet falleció el 19 de julio de 2025 en Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Su partida representa la pérdida de un esposo, padre, hermano y amigo muy querido.

Nacido en Medellín, Colombia, Edwin fue un verdadero parcero: encantador, leal y lleno de corazón. Tenía una habilidad extraordinaria para conectar con las personas y dejaba una impresión duradera en todos los que lo conocían. Ya fuera con una sonrisa, una historia o una risa compartida, Edwin tocaba vidas con naturalidad y autenticidad.

Por encima de todo, Edwin fue un hombre de familia. Su mayor alegría y su más profundo propósito nacían del amor, la protección y el apoyo que brindaba a los suyos. Fue un esposo devoto para Maria Cristina, con quien compartió una hermosa vida basada en la complicidad, risa y el amor incondicional. Como padre, Edwin se sentía inmensamente orgulloso de sus hijos, Andrés y Camilo. Celebraba sus logros, los guiaba con sabiduría y humildad, y vivía cada día con la esperanza de dejarles un ejemplo de fortaleza, amor e integridad. Su familia era el centro de su mundo, y su compromiso con ellos nunca flaqueó.

Edwin también sentía un profundo amor por los viajes y aprovechaba cada oportunidad para vivir nuevas experiencias. Encontraba alegría en descubrir lugares desconocidos y compartir esas aventuras con las personas que amaba. Su insaciable amor por la vida fue una de sus cualidades más definitorias.

Tenía una verdadera pasión por el deporte. Edwin era corredor y ciclista -varias veces maratonista- Edwin se nutría del desafío. Estar activo no era solo un pasatiempo; era una forma de vida que le brindaba claridad, energía y propósito.

Y cuando llegaba el momento de relajarse, Edwin sabía disfrutar del presente. A menudo se le podía encontrar descansando en la piscina con un cigarro en mano, disfrutando del sol, la brisa y los placeres simples de la vida, siempre con una sonrisa serena y un corazón agradecido.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Maria Cristina Hortet, y sus hijos, Andrés Hortet y Camilo Hortet, quienes continúan su legado con orgullo y amor. También lo sobreviven sus hermanos Federico, Alex, Enrique y Patricia, además de una multitud de queridos amigos y familiares cuya vida él impactó profundamente. Hoy, su espíritu se reúne con su querido cuñado, Dean Anthony.

Hombre de profunda fe, Edwin vivió su vida arraigado en los valores del catolicismo. Su espiritualidad guiaba sus acciones y moldeaba su forma de amar: con paciencia, compasión y una entrega inquebrantable a los que lo rodeaban.

Que su memoria brinde consuelo a quienes lo conocieron y siga inspirando a todos los que tuvieron la bendición de compartir parte de su camino.

Edwin hermano, agradezco a esta vida por brindarme la oportunidad de conocerte y formar parte de tu familia, por los momentos maravillosos compartidos, por ser merecedora de tu generosa sonrisa y tu ingenioso humor, por contagiarme del inmenso amor que desprendes por los tuyos y por todos quienes te rodean y por tantos buenos sentimientos que la lista podría ser interminable.
Gran tristeza de que esta misma vida nos prive de tantas historias aún por compartir y se lleve como el viento planes de futuro en común que nos quedaremos sin vivir.
Siempre estarás presente entre nosotros contagiándonos tu actitud positiva y dándonos fuerzas cada día para vivir sin tu presencia.
Te queremos Edwin

There are so many things I wish I could have thanked Mr. Hortet for while he was still here, and I´m heartbroken I won´t get the chance to tell him in person. But today, I want to thank him for sharing his chocolates, his arepas, his home, and most of all, his family, with me.

I remember the first time I met him at his birthday celebration where we got sushi. From that very first day, he never made me feel like anything less than family.

I want to thank him for driving us for hours through one of his favorite countries, Spain, during my first visit. To show us the beautiful food, the sights, and of course, the wine.
I want to thank him for being there no matter what Camilo and I needed, whether it was pan de bono from El Bodegon or thoughtful advice as we started our life together.

I want to thank him for the many laughs and memories we shared over dinners at their home, on family trips through Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and more, during holiday celebrations and birthdays, and for always saving room for dessert like me. For always agreeing to an adventure, from scuba diving to riding horses in Honduras.

I want to thank him for showing us what it means to provide for your family and love your wife and children deeply and unconditionally, including Laury and me, as we joined the Hortet family.

I want to thank him for being a model of what it means to be a devoted father and loving husband, because it´s through him that Camilo learned how to show up, to lead with love, and to take care of the people who matter most.

I want to thank him for giving me a safe place to sleep and a warm meal to share, even when I had nothing to offer in return.

I want to thank him for speaking at our wedding, and for saying something I will always carry with me, that he and his wife loved me like the daughter they never had.

And I want to thank him for welcoming my family into their home, showing us that families grow and change, but the love shared only grows with it.

I wish he could be here for all the memories yet to be made, and all the cookies still left to be eaten.

When I think of him, I will always remember his quiet strength, his kindness, his gentle compassion for everyone, his laugh, and the way he lived life to the fullest. And I´ll always think of him as my "Florida Dad."

edwin. getting to be your niece was an honor. i have always considered you like a second dad and knew you took me into your fold especially after my dad passed. without a doubt in my mind, i knew you were one call away (and in recent years one house). i loved seeing how passionate you became when talking about fitness, soccer, traveling, but more importantly, your family. there was always an immense amount of joy that would overflow from your heart and be shown through your radiant smile when you were in the presence of your wife cristina and your boys Andres and camilo. seeing how you´d observe and listen in a room full of people always intrigued me as a little girl. as i began to do the same, it finally clicked how prudence is a valuable life skill that teaches you to truly listen. even with your gentle voice, your words held great weight to all who listened because you always spoke with purpose. the sound of your laughter was rich and your humor was impeccable.

edwin was the kind of man that had fine tuned every function to a perfect science. from cooking medium rare steak with arepa y tajin to finding the best trails that had a mixture of breathtaking scenery and adequate miles to be ran. it always made me laugh when we went on walks and you´d say "it´s only a little left" but there was at least three miles to go. but that just showed me how edwin´s mindset was determined to endure from start to finish. he always liked to do things right and never leaves things unfinished no matter how tired he was.

you were my sweet tooth buddy and always gave me an excuse to make cookies, tiramisu, buy ice cream- you name it. i remember the time you telling me i had to make more cookies because cristina and vanessa ate them all and you only got to eat one out of 8- "they ate them ALL and the big one too and they left me a little cookie". without fail, after every dinner you´d say "quieren palleta" or "quieren jet" with big eyes and a smirk.

to say you will be missed is the understatement of the year. for now, i will throw the towel over my shoulder and say "los vemos pronto". i love you

When I think about Edwin, I think of many things.
I think of the man who loved my aunt so deeply-the love was always in his eyes when she spoke, fully present, fully listening.
I think of a proud lion, sitting strong, making sure his family was safe-beaming with pride over his kids.

I think of the man who shared laughter and late-night gossip with my father, especially during their beloved sauna, cold plunge, and pool routine. It might sound odd-two grown men giggling and gossiping but trust me, they were like two boys again. they were married to my mom and aunt for 20+ years they had many adventures. They flew their helicopters together in the park, went on yachts, and made the most of every moment during those final years of my dad´s life. there were times when they gossiped and would quiet down as soon as one of us came close and just held off until later.

I think of the man who offered my father the gift of life when he was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Even though a donation wouldn´t have saved him, Edwin was willing-without hesitation. He visited and checked in on him as often as he could proving his love and devotion to not only his brother in law but his best friend.

I think of the man who danced to Earth, Wind & Fire in the living room with his wife, joyfully moving during our music listening sessions.
I think of the man who didn´t say much-but when he laughed, you felt like you´d won something huge. And when he spoke, everyone listened to his sound wisdom or his witty comments.

He was the man who insisted it´s good to know your neighbors and was our town herald of everything going on. The social butterfly who´d catch my eye during game night as we switched cards under the table or cheated at dominoes-because we thought the games were taking too long.
The one who passed chocolates around after dinner because he had a sweet tooth.
The one who cooked the best steak and arepas always perfectly timed.
The one who cleaned his pool the moment he saw a single leaf-because he wanted it to always look like a resort.

He was the one who told me, during my two-year job search, to chase my dreams. Who helped with interviews and kept an eye out for opportunities.
The one who would go, "Shhh-TV" and point at the screen when people were talking too much.

Edwin is my second father-and will always be my dad´s best friend. He´s more than just an uncle.
He is, and will always be, one of my favorite people to have ever existed. I will forever cherish those three weeks he stayed at my home and that he helped me fix my tail lights.

Mama, until we meet again, I will miss you dearly.
Don´t worry-I´ll help take care of them. I see pieces of you in each of the gang. I hope your tour of heaven by my dad was to your satisfaction. I hope they do have cookie time in heaven.

Here´s to many more apples with peanut butter.

Love,
Banessa

P.S. I´ll always miss your smiling greetings... and the days you wore long-sleeve button-downs with gym shorts.

pss: this was not written by chat gpt either , and yes i do love you more.

Edwin was a fun and kind soul. He came into my family´s life when I was just a little girl. He was my father´s best friend and soon after, he became my uncle Edwin. It was hard for anyone in the family to not fall in love with his persona. I always admired his soft mannerisms and gentle ways with his family. Edwin brought comfort to all around him and always welcomed people with open arms. He was a big teddy bear.
Sometimes when you drift away from people and you think back about the person, the love for the person can easily be lost and the relationship feels hard to recoup but with Edwin it was different. He was a great and positive part of my life, more so than any other uncle. I loved his genuine love for my father and mother and what a perfect husband he was to my aunt and exemplary father he was to my little cousins. So every time I thought of Edwin, he brought a smile to my face and nothing but good feeling to my heart. Edwin, you will be missed greatly and I hope that you are resting peacefully in the high heavens where you belong. RIP dear Edwin Naty

It´s hard to put into words the impact Edwin had on my life during our years together at IQware. For five years, he wasn´t just a colleague, he was a source of laughter, wisdom, and unwavering positivity. He had this rare gift of lighting up a room with just his presence, his humor, and that ever-present smile that made the day better no matter what it brought.

He helped mentored me in ways that reached far beyond work, accepting me as I was, including my "Canadian-ness," which we turned into our own running joke. It was in those light moments, the shared laughter, the phone chats, and quiet encouragement that I felt how deeply he cared. His charm was effortless, his spirit contagious, and his generosity endless.

Rest easy, Edwin! You will be deeply missed, and you will never be forgotten.

I had the chance and privilige to be a friend and a brother to Edwin during my 17 years working at IQware, someone whom I looked up to and enjoyed being around. Played Golf with him and John and a friend who's name is Lance. It was always a happy and special moment when you are around him. My deepest condolences to the whole family members. He was a unique human being that touched my life by his smile, kindness and generosity, bringing the cigars to enjoy our golf day was a natural gesture and he was good at making every one feels as a friend. May he rest in peace

Edwin Hortet was one of those rare souls who made everyone around him better. He was a devoted husband to Cristina, an incredible father to Andres and Camilo, and a true friend to so many. He led by example, with quiet strength, endless love, and a spirit that never backed down. He was an athlete, a leader, a family man, Edwin gave his all even as my mentor when we worked together.

His loss is felt deeply, but so is the impact he made.

You are deeply missed, Edwin. Thank you for everything you were, and everything you still are to so many of us.
You are home, RIP

it felt unreal when i heard the news. The most unexpected things in life usually do. It still doesn´t make any sense to me and some things never will. But i´m fortunate enough to say que todos mis recuerdos de Edwin demuestran a una persona feliz, no tengo memoria de el en donde no este sonriendo, riendo, hablandome de algo interesante o echando un chiste. Fue un hombre tan inteligente, alegre, lleno de energía, curioso, y tan pero tan especial.

El dolor que sentimos al saber que ya no esta en este plano con nosotros es enorme, pero aunque no este aquí fisicamente siempre estará con ustedes. No hay palabras que hagan que esto se sienta mejor pero les mando un abrazo enorme de esos que relajan y consuelan. Los quiero muchisimo.

I became endeared with Edwin Hortet from the second I met him. He was one of the finest human beings I was ever honored to know and allowed be part his life. I have so many fond memories and times to mention. But I will share this one about The Big E. One day we are playing golf and anyone who knows me knows I have been struggling with the game for 30 years. Anyways I drive the ball then Edwin hits his drive effortlessly pass me by 30 or 40 yards. Bends down picks up his tee and flashes me that huge warm smile of his. This game not so hard Dave. That was Edwin everything he ever did was with ease, grace and kindness. I will miss him terribly.

De tu amor por Canita y por tus hijos. Son infinitos recuerdos que tenemos de ti.

Tity , Andrés y Camilo
Siempre he pensado que en la vida de es tener presente que dejas en el otro. Lo que Edwin dejó en mi corazón en tiempo presente, es la calidez y acogedora presencia. Cada vez que yo iba , y podía compartir con mi amiga de vida y Edwin deja recuerdos hermosos, risas mamadera de gallo. Verlo como desfilaba a la cocina por los chocoramos y las colombinas bom bom bum que le llevaba. La dulzura con que siempre estaba pendiente de Tity. Era de enseñanza. Cuando fuimos con mis hijos y Andrés y Camilo se los llevaron a jugar Basketball, abrazados siempre por ese cariño y que todos estuviéramos a gusto. Esto es de no creer. Su imagen trotando y contando como se sentía. Acompañándolos desde Colombia con el corazón roto y orando para poder entender esto.
Tity sabes que estoy a un click. Cuando desees. Camilo y Andrés le mando un abrazo al alma
Los quiero mucho
