Handsome, bright and funny are only a few of the many words that described who he was. His captivating smile would draw you in and his charming personality would instantly make you fall in love with his huge heart. Always humble, he would never shy away from anyone or anything. His goofy personality and crazy dance moves could brighten anyone’s day. Isidro was the definition of strength with a very competitive soul. He was always ready to beat you at pretty much anything. A fierce gamer, amazing wrestler, a marathon runner…there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t do. He never made a promise he couldn’t keep. He promised he would beat cancer and that’s exactly what he did! Isidro was a protector, especially over his five sisters, but had a soft loving heart. Extremely kind and such a gentleman, he showcased his love especially to his mother and also to his life partner, Paige. Watching Isidro and Paige was like a movie. A true love story that was so pure and mesmerizing to watch. Always together, never apart. They loved and protected each other until the very end. He always put others before himself. He loved hard and unconditionally. “Family over everything” was his motto. Even though he was the baby brother, he protected his sisters without hesitation. The bond between him and his brother was unbreakable. Gerb was his keeper and his hero. Isidro loved life and lived it to the fullest. He captured God’s work of art through his camera, something he absolutely love to do! We will miss his beautiful smile and infectious laugh. When you were in his presence you always felt welcomed. Isidro you will always be the piece that will hold us together and keep our bond strong. He is survived by his parents Sergio and Alisia Cortez; his sisters, Serafina, Marisela, Erika, Emily and Selena; his brother Sergio Cortez; his life partner Paige Ulrich; an abundance of cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and a lot of friends.
