Cordero was diagnosed with the coronavirus in March, spending the last three months of his life in a hospital.
Doctors amputated his leg due to a blood clot caused by complications with the virus in April, and gave him a tracheostomy tube in May, after developing ‘holes in his lungs’.
Cordero died on July 5, 2020. Kloots wrote on Instagram at the time: ‘God has another angel in heaven now. My dear husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded by love for his family, singing and praying as he gently left this land. ‘
