Adrian James Cruz

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Adrian James Cruz, who left us far too soon on September 3, 2024, at the age of 19. Born on January 11, 2005, Adrian was a bright and ambitious young man whose passion for helping others was truly inspiring. His vibrant personality, unwavering compassion, and fearless approach to life made a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Adrian's spirit was as boundless as his interests. From his involvement in Special Olympics and athletics to his love for combat sports, fishing, mechanics, trucks, and motorcycles, he embraced life with a zest that was contagious. His eagerness to learn and tackle new challenges with a brave heart exemplified his unique character.

He is survived by his loving parents, Roel and Janny Cruz; his brother, Jacob Cruz; and his grandparents, Roel and Mary Cruz, and Manuel Gonzalez and Theresa Ramos. Adrian is also remembered by his uncles and aunts, Rey and Abby Cruz, and Manuel and Angela Gonzalez, as well as his cousins Sara and Matthew McKeown and Grace Gonzalez.

Though Adrian's time with us was brief, his legacy will endure through the countless lives he touched with his smile and gentle spirit. His family and friends will always cherish the memories of his kindness and the joy he brought into their lives. Rest in peace, Adrian. You are deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
