Born on October 25, 1994, Cortez was a diligent, hardworking man whose quiet strength, kind heart, and love for his family left a lasting impression. He carried himself with humility, worked tirelessly, and was always willing to help others. Whether on the football field, at work, or with family, Cortez exemplified dedication and integrity. His legacy of love and kindness will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

Cortez was a 2013 graduate of Macon County High School, where he distinguished himself academically and athletically.

He later graduated from South Georgia Technical College, building a foundation for his future and his family.

Known for his exceptional work ethic, Cortez worked at FPL Warehouse in 2020 before continuing his career with McLane Warehouse, Tyson Foods, and Perdue Farms through 2026. Most recently, he was employed by Jack Link’s Corporation, demonstrating the reliability and determination that defined his life.

Cortez was preceded in death by his mother, Fontella Felton Williams; grandfathers, Eugene Williamson and Jamie Lee Felton; and grandmother, Mattie Redding.

He leaves to cherish his memory: his children, Kayden Williamson, Jayden Williamson, and Ja’Kayden Davis; and a cherished friend, Diamond Davidson.

He is also survived by his father, Kerry Williamson, Sr. (Sonja); siblings, Kerry Williamson, Jr. (Kimberly), Christopher Williamson (India), Kerridias Chambliss, Kerin Williamson, Ronrica Gordon (Kena), Dawn Chambliss, and Jessica Chambliss; and Emily Deed, who shared a special bond with him growing up.
