Kortez Kentrell Waller

Kortez Kentrell Waller (21) was a Jackson, Tennessee resident whose life was rooted in his community and circle of family and friends. Public records and local team rosters indicate Kortez was known in the Jackson area and participated in school athletics at Jackson Central — a part of his young life that brought him together with teammates and neighbors. While many personal details about his life are not part of the public record, Kortez’s presence in the community can be seen in local school rosters and in the memories of those who knew him.

Kortez’s passing on March 31, 2020, at the age of 21 is recorded in public case listings and community notices. The available public sources do not include a published, family-authorized obituary or funeral-home notice that matches his full name and the exact date of death; therefore no family text could be reproduced here. That absence in the published record does not lessen the fact that Kortez was a real person whose life mattered to others — a young man with relationships, routines, and a place in his hometown.

Because public details about his work, education beyond local school activity, hobbies, and family relationships are limited or unavailable in reliable online sources, this remembrance focuses on verified facts and a respectful honoring of his life. Those who loved Kortez — family members, classmates, teammates, and friends — carry forward the particular memories and stories that made him who he was. May this brief tribute acknowledge his life and the loss felt by his community.
