Manuel Cruz, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away on May 14, 2024 in Davis, California. He was born on June 3, 1948, and lived a full and vibrant life surrounded by loved ones.

Manuel was known for his infectious laughter, his love of gardening, and his passion for classic rock music. He could often be found tending to his prized tomato plants while jamming out to his favorite band.

He was always up for a good joke and had a knack for making everyone around him smile. Manuel was a pillar of strength and kindness in his community, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

He is survived by his loving wife, four children, and countless friends who will cherish his memory forever. Manuel will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to be made to the local food bank in honor of Manuel's generous spirit.

Rest in peace, Manuel. Your laughter and love will never be forgotten.
