Bruno Cortez
December 6, 1949 — January 9, 2016
SAN BENITO, TX. – Bruno Cortez, Jr., born on the 6th of December 1949, went to be with his Lord surrounded by family this 9th of January 2016. He was sixty-six years old.
Bruno was a resident of San Benito, Texas, but chose to live out his final days in his brother’s house in Cedar Hill, Texas. He proudly made a living in transportation to support his family as a truck driver for many years, becoming a bus driver later on in life. During his time employed, he made many cherished friendships due to his kind-hearted, giving nature. His major passion in life was carpeting, often spending weekends building, remodeling, and repairing homes.
He joins his father, Bruno Cortez, Sr.; mother, Zolia Cortez; brother Hector Cortez, Sr.; and nephew, Hector Cortez, Jr., in heaven.
His loving wife, Magdalena Cortez; daughter, Amanda Cortez; son, Andrew Cortez; grandchildren Samuel Neito, Sr., Xavier Cortez, and Mia Garcia; great-grandchildren, Robynn Neito and Samuel Neito, Jr.; and siblings Adela Molina, Herman Cortez, Stephanie Abbasi, and Zoila Avalos, remain to continue his legacy of kindness.
