Jonathan Allen Cortez's Obituary
Jonathan Allen Lucero Cortez, age 51, passed away on January 05, 2023. Allen was born on July 10, 1971 in the Philippines to Artemio and Delia Cortez. When he was 9 months old they moved to SD, California and as a Navy brat they moved around the world but eventually settling back to San Diego where he graduated from Morse High School in 1989 and has worked as a Technical Support technician for 20 years. Allen truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; surrounding himself with friends and family, playing the guitar, spending time with his niece and nephews and was a huge Padres and Chargers fan. Allen kept his circle small but touched so many through his vibrant personality & boisterous laughter. He will greatly be missed by so many and the memories we made will forever be in our hearts.
He is survived by his parents, Artemio and Delia Cortez; a brother, Joey (Rachel); his niece and nephews, Josiah, Liam, Sammy, Emma.
