Our dear friend, leader, brother, son, husband, and girl dad has left us far too soon.  Danny accomplished more in his short life than most people could achieve in several lifetimes.  He built an incredible family with his beautiful bride, raised 3 wonderful girls, served his country for nearly two decades as a proud Marine, served his county as a Deputy Sheriff, and just for fun, earned a Masters and Doctorate in his "spare" time.

Danny could light up a room with his smile and goofy personality, but when he put his game face on, he could scare even the toughest (and tallest) guy in the room.  He has touched the lives of countless people across all of the roles he played in his life and so many of us are left with a hole in our hearts which will be impossible to fill. 

Our hope with this fundraiser is to alleviate some of the immediate concerns and needs for his family while they take time to mourn and miss Danny.  He will always mean so much to those of us who spent precious time with him, and now we can help those who will carry on his tremendous legacy.

We love you Daniel Cortes, please continue to lead us and watch over us.
