Rev Magdaleno Cruz
May 6, 1941 — December 29, 2011
Rev. Magdaleno Cruz, Jr., went to be with our Lord on Thursday, December 29, 2011 at McAllen Heart Hospital in McAllen with his family by his bedside. He was born on May 6, 1941 in Edinburg, Texas to Magdaleno Cruz, Sr. and Adela Santana Cruz. He is preceded in death by his parents, sons; Eliseo and Adino Cruz, daughters; Areli and Dorem Cruz, brothers; Juan and Guadalupe Cruz, and sister; Esmeralda Cruz.
Rev. Magdaleno is survived by his loving wife of 51 years; Ana S. Cruz, sons; Elias (Mirna) Cruz and Juan Cruz, daughters; Dina Ollervidez-Cruz, Genovi (Mardonio) Ollervidez, Magdalena Badillo-Cruz, Cristabel (Salome, Jr.) Lopez and Nora Munguia, brothers; Miguel, Eugenio, David, and Jose Luis Cruz, sisters; Maria Elena Ozuna, Margarita Reyna, Barbarita De Alejandro, and Adela B. Cruz, 19 – grandchildren, 18 – great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and a congregation who loved him.
Rev. Magdaleno was an evangelist, teacher, pastor and apostle whose strong faith converted many to become ministers and spread the word of the Lord. Through his ministry; many were saved, healed and Blessed by God. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. So the seed that he planted will still keep growing through his wife, family and congregation and his legacy and memories will always live in their hearts. Some of his hobbies were fabricating, welding, fishing, classic/oldie cars, cooking, gardening, enjoyed nature, and was a great singer and musician. He was a great evangelist, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend who touched many lives and will truly be missed by all those whose lives he touched.
