Kevin Joel Cruz-Strain

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Kevin, 19, who tragically left us on May 2, 2025. Kevin was a son, brother, partner, and friend, whose life was filled with love, laughter, and boundless potential. His loss is immeasurable, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Kevin was a passionate soul who found joy in the simple pleasures of life—whether it was fishing on a quiet lake, riding his motorcycle, or working on cars. His spirit and kind heart made him someone everyone wanted to be around, and he had a way of making even the ordinary feel extraordinary.

Kevin’s family was the center of his world. He leaves behind his beloved girlfriend, Emma, and their unborn son, with whom he was eager to share a life full of love and adventure. He was a loving son to his mother, Lea, a devoted brother to his sister, Destiny, and brothers Jacoby and Jayce, and a cherished grandson to his grandparents, Miranda, Byron, and Josephine.

Though Kevin’s time with us was far too short, he leaves behind an enduring legacy of kindness, enthusiasm, and a love for life. He was excited to become a father and looked forward to raising his son with the same warmth and passion he shared with those closest to him.

Kevin’s family finds comfort in knowing that his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Though he may be gone from this world, his memory will continue to inspire and guide us.
