Our hearts have been shattered. Our brother, uncle, nephew and friend Nathaniel Crank. Has passed away a few days after turning 32 on Sep 7. He was clean and sober, but the silent killer (mental health) is a real thing. He was Barbara Cortez’s third child. He was a wonderful artist, and his love of music, like his grandpa was amazing. He never had training but he could play piano and guitar by ear. He was much like his mother, kind, generous, gave his love unconditionally. Anyone who spent time with Nate would have received his love and caring heart. He was the funniest and most annoying at times. Nathaniel Steven Crank Cortez you will forever have a large part of all those you have touched.

We are bringing Nathaniel back home to Colorado, and would like to have a celebration of life we are in need of donations. Thank you in advance.
