Remembering Avyeontay
A life held close in memory
Avyeontay Cortez McGee was a 17-year-old young man from El Centro, California. Public records and community notices identify him by name, age and hometown, and his loss in June 2022 was felt by family members and neighbors. He was part of a close-knit local family; public memorial listings and a family fundraiser organized by Nohama Hernandez indicate his mother and relatives worked to gather support during the days following his death.
Though formal funeral-home obituary text published under his exact name and June 4, 2022 date was not found in established obituary archives, Avyeontay’s death is recorded in multiple community memorial databases and local news indexes. Those pages and listings reflect that he was a real person with family who sought to honor him and to arrange services in his memory. The presence of candles, messages, and a family fundraiser online show people reached out to comfort his loved ones and to help with funeral arrangements.
Where the public record is limited, it is important to remember Avyeontay first as a young person who mattered to family and community. He is named and remembered by those who cared for him, and the notices left in his memory — candles, fundraiser pages, and local reporting — show a community responding with sorrow and support. While details about his everyday interests, school activities, or other personal accomplishments are not available in the verified public sources found, the sources that do exist underline that his passing left a meaningful absence for people who loved him.
This page honors Avyeontay by acknowledging him by name, date, and the human grief his loss produced. His family’s calls for answers and the community’s efforts to support them are part of the record; beyond that, Avyeontay should be remembered as a young life with value to those who knew him. May his memory be held gently by family, friends, and the El Centro community.
