Cordaro H. Fife

Cordaro, affectionately known as Cord but known to many as Fife, burst into this world on November 27th 1988 to Trudie Hilson and Dewitt Fife. He was a handsome little baby boy who later became known as “Lemonhead” or “Pooch”. Cord was a determined, kind hearted, crybaby. He grew up to become “Mr. Fix It” or “Doc”. He was a young man of many talents. He once took an ordinary office chair and turned it to a relaxing recliner that could play music…that brother was a pure genius.

Cord attended Robert Fulton Elementary School and grew up on 53rd and Hermitage. He loved being outside, riding his bike, playing football, spending summer time at the pool or in the fire hydrant and hanging with his friends from “The Tige”. Fife was a lover, protector, fighter and had a smile that could brighten your day. He didn’t like anyone messing with his family or friends or they’d have to answer to him. He had a style of his own and didn’t really follow trends. He rocked to the beat of his own drums. Fife enjoyed life and lived it his own way.

Cord attended Bogan High School and starred on their football team. During his high school years he met his sweetheart and conceived Cordaro Fife Jr. Cordaro graduated high school in 2007 and began working for BNSF railroad. He was proud to be a father and loved his son dearly. Cordaro read and studied many religious text. He accepted God at an early age and tried to live life to the best of his abilities until the moment of his demise on March 6th, 2020.
