Help Us Honor the Memory of Ricardo Cortez

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved grandfather, Ricardo Cortez, on October 27, 2025.

Ricardo was a kind, generous, funny, and deeply loving man who touched the lives of everyone around him. He always put others first and had a way of making people feel cared for and valued. His laughter and warmth will be remembered forever.

As our family grieves this tremendous loss, we are also facing unexpected expenses related to medical bills, funeral arrangements, and travel for family members coming together to say their final goodbyes.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden during this difficult time. Any amount — no matter how small — will make a meaningful difference and help us give Ricardo the respectful and loving farewell he deserves.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

With gratitude,

The Cortez Family
