In loving memory of Manuel Cruz

To our friends and Family,        My son Manuel Antonio Cruz passed away on September 18,2020 suddenly and unexpected. He was only 36 years old. Manuel was battling  a long time to change his life. He fought for many years with his struggle with addiction and mental health and being incarcerated. As a family we never gave up on him.      These last few months Manuel was turning his life around, going to his classes, started a job and getting more involved with his 3 children and doing things he never experienced with his family. But there is always that one that doesn’t like to see you live your life and let you shine.   But behind that Manuel was a loving beautiful  person. He had a big heart. He brought smiles and laughter to everyone he was around. He was the type of person that when you were down , he would come to you and tell you “ Don’t worry everything will be  okay.”  He was the type of person that will give you the shirt off his back. Always wanted to be included in everything that was going  on. He was funny. He would tell us off the wall stories. He loved music and dancing to everything and his moves were funny. He was loved by many and everyone that knew him knew his story and his life style he lived. He left so many memories......     Manuel leaves behind his Mom Tammy Olmstead And Father Jose Cruz, his two brothers Jose and Adrian, his two  sisters Erika and Kristina. His three children Samantha , Isaac & Noah. His nieces Desiree, Ashley, Michaela, Kylie and Avery. His nephews Michael, Erik, Levi and Dominic. Along with the rest of his family and friends...    we set up this go fund me just so we can give Manuel a proper burial. Thank you and we appreciate  your help. Manuel- Until we see you again
