In Loving Memory of Billy De La Cruz July 20, 1959 – May 27, 2025
With warm hearts and fond memories, we celebrate the life of Billy De La Cruz, who passed away at the age of 64. Billy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, whose kindness, humor, and deep love for his family touched everyone around him. Billy was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Maria De La Cruz. He is survived by his son, Jesus De La Cruz, and his wife, Amber De La Cruz and their som Jesus De La Cruz Jr., son Michael De La Cruz and his wife Ivana Cisneros, with their sons Michael Jr. and Jeremiah; daughter Elizabeth Neel and her husband Johnathon Neel, with their children Johnathon Jr., Mariah, and Sophia; and youngest son Jason Tello. Billy was a steadfast protector and supporter, always there for his children and grandchildren with a warm heart. After retiring as an electrician in 2021, Billy cherished spending time with his family. Whether it was enjoying a meal together, watching sports, or celebrating special moments, his presence brought comfort and joy. His quick wit and gentle humor always sparked smiles and laughter among those he loved. Billy's legacy of love and family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. A memorial service to honor his life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at DeLeon Funeral Home. All are welcome to join in remembering a man who made a lasting difference.
