Ethan William Cruz

Ethan William Cruz, 7 of Liberty, Texas went to be with the angels on Wednesday, July 22, 2020. He passed away at Texas Children’s Hospital after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Ethan was born in Galveston, Texas on December 27, 2012 to parents Guillermo “Willie” Cruz and Esmeralda Fuertes Cruz.

Ethan was a strong and brave little boy and though he didn’t live many years on earth, he deeply touched the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He had a kind, joyful spirit and was wise beyond his years. His smile would light up any room he entered. His favorite food was pepperoni pizza. He liked it so much, he would eat it for breakfast. Ethan loved his family, especially his younger brothers, Eden and Beckham. He was a happy child who loved going fishing with his family. Ethan attended Gigi’s Great Beginnings School in Liberty and built strong friendships with his teachers and classmates. He was truly a ray of sunshine and will be forever missed by all who knew and loved him.

When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do,

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you’ve given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust That it is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear All my love around you soft and clear And then, when you come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and a “Welcome Home”.
