In Loving Memory Of Nate Cortez

On September 6th so many lives were forever changed in an instant. A great man-a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to so many-was lost in a tragic car accident. Nate had a smile as big as his heart and when you were in his presence, you couldn't help but smile too. He worked selflessly for his little family and was passionate about all things KU basketball, automotive, good Mexican food, his furbabies, his family, his work and above all, his boys. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone that needed it, asking nothing in return. This loss is felt deeply as he leaves behind a beautiful wife, Felicia, and two adorable little boys he loved with his whole heart, Izayah & Carson, his loving parents Mona & Chris, brother and sister, Chris Jr. and Alicia, brothers in law Josh, Noah & Eli, sisters in law Shawna & Juana, 4 nieces and a nephew. Our family is shocked and heartbroken and have a long road ahead. But for Nate's honor and with him watching over us from his new spot in Heaven, we will learn to adjust to this new life without that big grin and beautiful soul. So many of you have been gracious in expressing your love through thoughts and prayers for Nate's family, and this has been so very much appreciated. The family is facing many difficulties in the coming days, months and years as they adjust to a new life without Nate. With the family's permission, we've started this fund to go towards the expenses of laying this great young man to rest and to the continued welfare and benefit of his little boys Izayah and Carson. His sons will grow up without their father physically present but will never truly be without him, and with all of the many people that knew and loved Nate, the boys will know what an amazing man their daddy truly was. If you would like to donate in his memory, it would be appreciated so very much but please don't feel obligated. Give only if you're able, and if it's from your heart. Please do continue to pray for Felicia & the boys and for the Cortez family-we know the power of prayer is being felt. Thank you all in advance, and may God bless your generosity and your prayers.
