We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of those that knew and loved JC. We have received more than our goal and have shut down additional donations. Any surplus will go to the Search and Rescue team that volunteers their time for those in need.

You may continue to leave messages on this site, and would encourage you to do so.

The fundraiser has reached its goal in less than two days. We are grateful and humbled by the outpouring of love for JC, who will forever live in our hearts.

We are going to leave the GoFundMe site live for another couple of days in the hopes of raising more funds for the Search and Rescue team. For more information on this dedicated group of volunteers visit: ycsrt.org.

We hope that everyone can join us on July 29th, at Yavapai Vista, so we can give JC the sendoff he deserves! Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.

_____________________________________________

Hello, we are friends of Jeancarlo "JC" Escruceria. JC was a long-time resident of Sedona, Arizona. He cherished the Red Rock country and took every opportunity to immerse himself in the natural world by hiking and climbing alone or with friends. This love lead him to an early morning solo climb at Bell Rock. . .a climb that he had undertaken numerous times before. To the sorrow of many, this journey ended in tragedy and resulted in his untimely passing on July 7, 2023.

JC relocated to Sedona from Montauk, NY in 2008 after falling in love with the mountains, climate, and people. He was known to many through his employment with the MacClinic PC Clinic, and he cherished the people who came into his life during that time.

His sense of adventure, gentle nature, and upbeat personality resulted in deep and abiding friendships not just throughout the Verde Valley but around the world.

A blessing and celebration of life ceremony is scheduled for July 29, at the Yavapai Vista, which overlooks Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte – two of his favorite places. The ceremony will begin at 6:00 p.m., and all are welcome. Casual attire.

Surplus funds will be donated to the Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team who we cannot thank enough for their professionalism, kindness, and sensitivity to our loss.

Wendy Weidman and Mark TenBroek
