Cortezz Lavel Haire, 32, passed away August 3, 2020, in Springfield, MO. He was born on June 21, 1988, in Springfield, MO.

Tezz was so full of life and enjoyed spending time with his kids and family. Tezz gave all the kids nicknames and he would not attempt to use their real names. He enjoyed playing PlayStation 4, making goofy TikTok videos and just being a big kid. One of his favorite games was Call of Duty, you could not get a word in while he was playing that one. Cortezz had recently started his own business called GnT's Get It Done Precise with Gema Montes. He was excited and ready to get started.

Tezz loved to be around his family rather it was having a cookout, playing cards or just sitting talking amongst each other. He was a devoted father, uncle, cousin, and friend.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Geraldine (Stoner) Floyd; brother, Joseph Stoner; and grandmother and grandfather.

Cortezz is survived by his father, Carmen Haire and wife Rhonda; brothers, Lopez Haire and Glenn Johnson; sisters, Shannon Haire and LaToya Stoner; children, Devon Marshall (16); Shawntezz Haire (12), Aaliyah Haire (11), Cameron Haire (6), Araya Bedell (5), and Austin Montes (11 months); his grandmother; and so many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends that are too numerous to name.

He will be forever missed and loved by his friends and family.
