Raymundo Cortez

Raymundo Cortez, 81, was born on April 13, 1944, in Ciudad de Zaragoza, Coahuila, Mexico, and entered into eternal rest on September 11, 2025, in Houston, Texas.

Raymundo was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend whose kindness and love touched the lives of many. He found joy in music, often playing his guitar and singing—especially Christian hymns and the songs of “Marino.” He also had a passion for working with his hands, frequently remodeling and improving things around the home.

He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Magdalena Cortez.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 54 years, Teresa Cortez; his sons, Raymond Cortez and Ismael Cortez and wife Erica; his daughters, Maritere Calderon and husband Mario, Margarita Cortez, Martha McAlister and husband Michael, Julie Perez and husband Bruno, and Adanary Cortez. He is also survived by his 19 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and a host of extended family members and dear friends.

Raymundo will be remembered for his faith, his music, and the love he poured into his family. His legacy will live on through the countless memories he created with those blessed to know him.
