Our hearts are shattered as we mourn the loss of Cruz Cardenas, our incredible dad. He was the foundation of our family, teaching us kindness, strength, and unconditional love every day. Cruz was our rock, our laughter, and our safe place, always there to support us through life’s ups and downs. His unique relationship with each of his children created countless cherished memories, from beach trips and breakfast dates to shooting range outings, casino time, and father-daughter dances. Every moment with him was filled with warmth and joy, and his love touched everyone he met.

We are raising funds to give Cruz the beautiful farewell he deserves. The support will help cover funeral costs and memorial services, allowing us to honor his life and legacy in a way that reflects the love he poured into our family and community. Any contribution, no matter the size, means more to us than words can express. Thank you for helping us celebrate Cruz’s life and for standing with us during this difficult time.
