My deepest prayers and condolences are with the entire family during this difficult time. Cortez was a childhood friend of my son, Patrick Denzel Johnson. Cortez use to come to my home for sleep overs and attend several outings. I saw him a month ago and he exhibit that contagious smile that he was known for. He will be missed but you will see him again. Be encouraged because Christ will never put no more on you than you can bear. Deacon Ricky L. Johnson

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family, especially his mother. To lose a child is one of the hardest and deepest pains to go through. I hope that you all receive the comfort and strength that you need to make it through this difficult time! You will see him again in paradise!

My deepest prayers and condolences are with the entire family during this difficult time. Cortez was a former, brilliant student of mine in my English Composition and World Literature courses at Virginia Union University seven years ago. Moreover, I recently just spoke to him last week and told him how proud I am of him. I’m at a loss for words. This is truly a great loss. Peace and Blessings, Dr. Monique L. Akassi
