Loring Cruz Obituary

(November 27, 1954 - September 8, 2025) "COACH"

Loring Santos Cruz was a man whose life was measured not in wins and championships but in the lives he touched and the generations of island youth he shaped. His story is one of toughness, humor, generosity, and above all, a relentless love for football and the community he built around it.

On September 8, 2025, at age 70, Loring passed away. His spirit lives on in every player who learned that winning is about more than the scoreboard and in every person he made laugh along the way.

Last respects for Loring will be held on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025.
