Rogelio "Roger" Delgado Cortez, 79, of Houston, Texas entered into rest on Tuesday, April 6, 2021. Roger was born November 9, 1941 in Municipal Saragosa, Cuahulia, Mexico to parents Guadalupe Cortez and Julia Delgado.
During Roger's life, he was quite the entrepreneur. He owned his own business: Roger Cortez Painting, and helped in building Iglesia Pentecostal Unida, where he worked as a choir director for 8 years. He singlehandedly raised 3 generations and had the honor of walking his daughter down the aisle. Everyone who knew Roger loved him for his charisma and his inappropriate sense of humor. During his free time, he enjoyed cigars, poker, baseball, bowling, and playing the slot machines.
Roger is survived by his children, Blanca Isabel Orozco Cortez (John Montealvo), Roger D Cortez, Jr., Richard Lee Cortez; grandchildren Ave Maria Hernandez, Alexzander Manuel Hernandez, Holly Rene Montealvo, Pete Sebastian Gallardo, Bella Isabel Montealvo; great-grandchildren Memphis William Cortez Guzman, Zane Max Cortez Delaney, Colt McCoy Cortez Delaney; brother Raymundo Cortez; friends Roy Velasquez and Gumaro Sarreon; and a host of other friends and loved ones. Roger was preceded in passing by his grandson Manuel Alexander Hernandez; siblings Juan Cortez, Maria Rita Cortez de Portales, and Rodolfo Cortez.
