Francisco SANTACRUZ Obituary

SANTACRUZ, Francisco Alexander Passed away on Wednesday, May 24, 2016 at the age of 29. Alex was born on July 25, 1986 in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. He graduated from Kennesaw Mountain High School in 2005. It was there that he met and married the love of his life Jessica Roberts. Alex served his country with honor and bravery in the United States Marine Corps and later pursued a career with Google. Alex is survived by his parents Leonardo and Virginia Santacruz, his brothers Julio Santacruz, Leonardo Jose Santacruz, Leonardo Antonio Santacruz and his sister Becky (Santacruz) Baker, his Grandparents Rosa Santacruz, Tom and Frances Walton along with Charles and Pam Compton. Alex will also be missed by several aunts, uncles, cousins and loving nieces and nephews. Alex will be remembered as a peaceful man with a huge heart for his family and friends. Alex never met a stranger and would give everything he had to protect and help anyone who was in need. Alex's love for animals was apparent as he adopted several and donated to charities to help rescue animals. He enjoyed being outdoors and loved to go hiking and camping. His compassion and generosity touched the lives of all who knew him. We ask that you consider a donation to Action Against Hunger in his memory. Memorial will be held at Kennesaw First Baptist Church, Kennesaw Ga. on Sunday June 12 at 3:00 pm.

To the Santa Cruz family,
My heart breaks for you and my prayers go out to you. I have fond memories of Alex. That smile, and quiet demeanor and so very handsome.
May you lift your eyes to the hills. From where does your help come from? It comes from the Lord. The one who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121. I feel like I've lost someone too.
