JUAN SAMONTE SANTA CRUZ's Obituary
Juan Santa Cruz, Jr., beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 5. He was surrounded by the love of his family. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort knowing he is now at rest.
Among his greatest joys were his grandchildren Jezeca, Justin, Daniel, Bryan and Gianna. His embrace was soft but strong—the kind of hug that made them feel completely safe, cherished, and seen. They will carry the memory of his warmth with them always.
Juan leaves behind his wife of 63 years, Fideliza; his children Jean, Juan, and Jennifer; and his adored grandchildren. He is also survived by extended family members and friends who will forever remember his kindness, gentle presence, and his devotion to faith and family.
We will miss Juan’s steady calm, his quiet humor, and the peace he brought into every room. Though he is no longer with us in body, the love he gave so freely continues to live on in each of us.
