Born on April 7, 1981, in Ixmiquilpan, Roberto was the beloved son of the late Federico Cruz Cruz and Otilia Espiritu Rafael. Roberto was a devoted partner, loving father, caring son, brother, and friend whose warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew him.
Roberto was the proud owner of Cruz Auto Body Repair INC, where he dedicated himself to serving his community with hard work, honesty, and passion. Outside of work, Roberto enjoyed watching movies, relaxing at the beach, and exploring new foods and restaurants with his loved ones. He was known for his joyful personality, adventurous spirit, and unique sense of humor. Family and friends often smiled at the memorable fact that Roberto could never move his right pinky finger — a small detail that became one of the many cherished things that made him unforgettable.
Above all, Roberto treasured his family. He is survived by his loving partner, Martha Mendoza Contreras; his children, Briana Cruz-Mendoza, Jessica Cruz-Mendoza, and Robert Cruz-Mendoza; his mother, Otilia Espiritu Rafael; and his siblings, Maria Estella Cruz Espiritu, Angela Cruz Espiritu, Rocio Cruz Espiritu, Adelaida Webb, Justina Cruz Espiritu, Delfina Cruz Espiritu, Balbina Cruz Espiritu, and Juan Cruz Espiritu.
Roberto’s kindness, strength, laughter, and love for life will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His memory will continue to inspire his family and friends for generations to come.
Funeral services will be held on May 22, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by a church service at 1:00 p.m. at Light of Christ Catholic Church.
May he rest in eternal peace.
