In Loving Memory of Jose Luis Naranjo Cortez
Orange, California | Sunrise: April 20, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jose Luis Naranjo Cortez on April 20, 2025. A devoted father, beloved son, cherished brother, and faithful friend, Jose’s unexpected departure has left his family and community in deep mourning. At the heart of his life was a spirit of unwavering kindness, deep faith, and a quiet strength that lifted all who knew him.
Jose leaves behind six children, whose lives he filled with unconditional love, gentle guidance, and joyful memories. His family meant everything to him, and every decision he made was rooted in his role as a protector, provider, and example of integrity.
A Life of Generosity and Grace
Jose was known for his compassionate heart and his commitment to helping others, no matter their circumstance. Whether through his daily actions or moments of unexpected generosity, he embodied the values of service and humility. His faith was his compass—guiding him in how he treated others, how he showed love, and how he found strength in difficult times.
To his siblings, Jose was the dependable one—the one who showed up when it mattered most. To his parents, he was a source of pride and joy. To his children, he was a safe place, a role model, and their biggest supporter. His laugh, his warmth, and his quiet wisdom will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate enough to share in his life.
A Family’s Loss, A Community’s Heartbreak
The loss of Jose has shaken his family and the greater Orange community, who are now rallying in love and support. In moments like this, grief becomes a shared experience—one that reminds us of how interconnected we are, and how one person’s light can brighten the lives of many.
The Naranjo Cortez family is now navigating the emotional and financial challenges that come with this sudden loss. As they prepare to say goodbye to a man who gave so much of himself, they are doing everything they can to ensure that his funeral and memorial service reflect the grace, dignity, and love that he lived by.
Honoring Jose’s Legacy
In honor of Jose’s life, a fundraising campaign has been launched to help cover the costs associated with his services and final arrangements. This will allow the family to focus on healing and remembering, rather than facing the weight of expenses alone.
Your support—whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing Jose’s story—means more than words can express. Every contribution is a tribute to the life he lived and the love he gave.
We invite you to stand with the Naranjo Cortez family during this profoundly difficult time. Let us come together as a community to celebrate Jose’s life, uplift his children, and ensure that his legacy is honored with the same dignity and compassion he so freely gave to others.

Please consider donating, praying, or simply remembering Jose Luis Naranjo Cortez with the love he so deeply deserved.
