Cortez Dewon Moody was born on June 5, 1980, in St. Petersburg, FL, to Eve Brockington and Kirk Moody.

Cortez had many different hobbies that he enjoyed. His favorite hobbies included reading history and documentary books. He enjoyed playing basketball, dominoes, and with dogs. He also loved watching football and listening to music. Cortez enjoyed eating great home-cooked meals with his family and friends.

He was someone who gave guidance to the blind and strength to the weak. Youll forever be loved and never forgotten.
