Hector R. Cruz, age 63, of Clementon, NJ, passed away on September 22, 2025.

Hector worked as an auto body technician for many years. Known for his great sense of humor and a laugh that could fill a room, Hector brought joy and light-heartedness wherever he went. He loved spending time with family, cracking jokes, and making others smile. Hector was an avid fisherman and enjoyed taking trips to Atlantic City to fish. He also had a passion for cooking and could often be found browsing at the Berlin Farmers Market.

Devoted father of Dominique Miller (Jamal), Brandon Cruz, and Rayma Cruz. Loving grandfather of Christopher, Christina, Jessie, Julian, Julianna, and his granddaughter on the way, Camila. Dear son of the late Dionisio and Flora Cruz. Cherished brother of Eddie, Pete, Wilson, Rayma, the late Edwin and the late Raul. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation on Saturday, October 18th from 1:30 – 2:30 PM at the Farnelli Funeral Home, 504 N. Main Street, Williamstown, where a memorial service will be held at 2:30 PM.
