Cartez Lorenzo Daniels, lovingly known as "boog/boogie" was born to Isophine Daniels and Carter Taylor on February 21, 1983 in Chicago Illinois. He accepted Christ into his life at an early age practicing love, generosity, and forgiveness often. On Sunday, March 5th, 2023 he departed this earthly life together holding hands with his beloved daughters Sanai Daniels, 9 and Samiyah Daniels, 17 in Bolingbrook, Illinois. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Callie Mae & Ernest Daniels, Stella Taylor and Jeff Ward, as well as his loving aunt Geraldine Byrd, uncle Yardley Hutton, and cousin Carlos (Fred) Miller. He moved from Chicago to Rockford Illinois, where he resided until his untimely passing. Boogie was smart with a passion for music, his family, and a natural gift at making everyone laugh. He was loved by so many and had a huge network of cousins, including Wardell Byrd who was more like a brother. Boogie made countless memories at his family home, entertaining the family with his music and comedy. He was close to his siblings, Tavares (Punkin), Erica (E),Jamal (Mal), and Tomika (Mookie). Carter Taylor (Sonny) admits that by making Punkin take his little brother boogie everywhere he knew it would make them look out for one another and ensure they remained close. Cartez leaves a collection of music and studio recordings forever accessible via YouTube for family and friends to enjoy. He leaves cherished memories to his parents: Isophine Daniels and Carter (Silva) Taylor, Sisters: Erica Daniels (E), and Tomika (Antony) Reed.
