Timeline for Miguel Cruz
Born: September 28, 2008
Died: May 11, 2013
God saw that our little angel was tired, so he wrapped his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” In the early morning of Saturday, May 11, 2013; Jose Miguel Cruz (Miguel) passed peacefully from the arms of his loving mother into the arms of God. Surrounded by his family, who held vigil throughout the night, our little Miguel returned home. While our hearts are broken, and our spirits crushed, we close our eyes and are comforted by Miguel’s sweet smile. While Miguel will be remembered for his brave little fight for life, he will be most remembered for the love and joy he brought others. We will remember how he loved dancing with his big sister Ava, watching Yo-Gabba-Gabba, singing along with Elmo from Sesame Street, and always loved bubbles. Each time we see a bubble float by, it will remind us that his sweet spirit is always close to us.
Born in San Antonio, Texas on September 28, 2008, Miguel leaves behind his parents; Roseann Gonzales Cruz of Galveston; Jose M. Cruz Sr. of Dallas; and sister, Ava Grace Cruz of Galveston; grandparents: Raymond and Marian Gonzales of Galveston and Jose and Juanita Cruz of San Antonio; uncles and aunts, Raymond T. Gonzales and Tina M. Gomez of League City, Anthony Campos and Michael C. Ruggerio of Houston, Rick and Norma Roberts of Allen, Christy Cruz and Joey Leal of San Antonio; godparents, Mark and Tammy McRae of San Antonio; and countless cousins and other loving family members.
The family wishes to express deep thanks to Dr. Susan Gerik, Dr. Amr Abouleish, the caring Physicians, Nursing and PCT staff – tenth floor, Radiation Oncology, second floor Recovery, and eighth floor Day Surgery of UTMB John Sealy Children’s Hospital, as well as the countless other friends Miguel made at ECI, Moody Day School, Parker Elementary, and ECU/Life during his four years.
Miguel’s family will receive visitors beginning at 5:00 pm, Tuesday, May 14th, at Malloy & Son Funeral Home. A rosary will begin at 6:30 pm. Funeral services will begin at 10:00 am, Wednesday, May 15th, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1302 Broadway St., in Galveston. Burial will follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson, TX.
The Lord needed another Angel by his side and he called Miguel to take his right hand.
Im so sorry to hear About your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
My Heart and Prayers are with you at this time. The joy he brought to all those around him will never be forgotten. He is dancing and singing in Heaven. God's Strength and Love be with you. Paul Seabolt
So sorry for your loss. My prays our with you and your family.
My thoughts and love are with you all.
Miguel, a true miracle, moved on peacefully and without fear. The concern and love of Christ absolutely touched little Miguel. He helped him through his time with all of us, so this sweet baby is the continuation of Christ. Just remember Saint Paul's "I no longer I, but Christ in me." God's nature teaches us that matter and energy are never destroyed, only transformed. Death is really a transformation that is an ending, but not just an ending. Fly away, precious angel.
We are so sorry for your loss, Miguel was a fighter...we can all learn from that. He was a source of inspiration!
I love my brother Miguel.

While our hearts are broken, we take comfort in our beautiful memories of you and in knowing that you are holding the pieces of our broken hearts and will carry them with you always. You touched our lives in a way that no one else could. Our love for you cannot be measured and there are no words that can express the deep feeling of loss we now experience. Take care of our hearts and look after the broken pieces. We will hold tight to the memories we have and the love you gave to each of us. With So Much Love, Tio Michael and Tio Anthony
