Benjamin Cruz, Sr. born in Dallas, Texas entered eternal rest on July 22, 2024. He was born to Policarpio Cruz and Andrea Hernandez on June 2, 1967, in Dallas.
He was preceded in death by his father, Policarpio Amado Cruz Jr.; brother, David Oscar Cruz Sr.; sister, Sylvia Cruz.
He is survived by his children, Krystal Marie Cruz and husband Evan Montes, Benjamin Cruz, Jr. and Andrew Cruz; mother, Andrea Cruz; siblings, Alex Rosales, Irene Speulda, Eva Rodriguez, Nora Villalobos, Peter Cruz, Miguel Cruz, Rubin Cruz, Joel Cruz, and Daniel Cruz; eight grandchildren, Noah I.Cruz, Eesa E.Montes, Ellie M.Cruz, Luna A.Cruz, Andrew K.Cruz, Michael D.Cruz, Policarpio A.Cruz Montes, Mila J. Cruz; along with many nieces and nephews.
Ben had a unique personality, was extremely hospitable and very giving. He was outspoken,
occasionally quiet at times and always there to be of help when needed or asked. He was a son, brother,
father, grandpa, and friend to those who knew and loved him. He loved his family and gave almost
everyone he encountered a new name, including himself, for example, a butler, a concierge and a ranch hand just to name a few. Ben loved cooking out, fishing and listening to heavy metal and
Tejano music. He will be extremely missed.
