Hi, My name is Bernadine Cruz. Our 20 yr old son, Ricardo (Strauss) Cruz lost his life in a tragic accident on Tuesday morning on his way to a side job. Our hearts are shattered and I still feel like it’s just a bad dream.

We just don’t have the right words to describe our gratitude as a family for being surrounded by such a wonderful community and family.

Ricardo was a servant in our community ever since High School. He graduated as a Blue Jay Class of 2021 while working at the Jay Cafe in Needville and then moved on to Babin’s in Katy. Lastly ended up at Buffelo Wild Wings in Rosenberg for just over 2 yrs.

He leaves behind three young siblings. 1 Brother, (Micheal-8)

2 little sisters ( Sadie & Kate, 2 & 4 yrs old)

Many of you have asked how you can help and some suggested a fundraiser to help with Funeral Expenses.

Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for walking alongside our family. We love and appreciate each one of you.
