Cruz Nunez Rojas, 72, passed away suddenly on September 9, 2021, with his family by his side. He was a native of Corpus Christi, Texas and graduated from West Oso High School. Cruz was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, serving in the Vietnam Conflict. During his service, he received 2 Purple Hearts and a Silver Star. He then retired from CCAD as a machinist in 1996.

He is survived by his wife, Dee Rojas; mother, Santos (Delfino) Garcia; brother, Ferdando (Guadalupe) Rojas; sister, Mary Ann (Fidel) Posada of Houston, TX; his nieces, Rosie (David) Hernandez of Houston, TX and Carol Rojas Ramos of Round Rock, TX; step-son, Don (Angela) Watt, Jr. of Arizona; step-grandsons, Dylan (Elma), Jason and Kevin Watt of Arizona and several nieces and nephews.

Cruz will be remembered for his 3 John Deere tractors and mowing his 5 acres that he often over mowed and enjoyed so much. He was known as “Cruzer” by his family and friends and will surely be missed by those who knew and loved him.
