After many years of working for the family business, Cruz & Sons Landscaping LLC, 

Enrique recently ventured out into the production field and was employed thru Express at the Honda Anna Plant/NK Parts as an Assembly Operator where he was cherished and valued.

Throughout his youthful and valiant life, Enrique lived as free as one could possibly imagine. Enrique was renowned for his devout heart and unfathomable care for others. He was a loving brother, a loyal friend, and a proud son. Nothing but Enrique's own limitations could break his impenetrable spirit and undying fervor towards his goals and aspirations. A self taught magician. A master of music making. A determined character. Enrique was the first to join the frey, and the last to lay down his sword. Enrique brought nothing but joy and laughter to those fortunate enough to graze his path. Enrique will continue to be loved and missed by all who have come to know him. His life of the party laughter will ring loud for all of time.
