Erika Xiomara Cruz, 18, of Rochester, MN, died Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at St. Marys Hospital.
Erika was born August 22, 2002 in Rochester, MN to Rene and Marcela (Cortez) Cruz. She graduated from Mayo High School in 2020. She was currently a student at the University of St. Thomas, studying Sport and Exercise Science.
She was one of the smartest, loving, caring, passionate, motivated, inspiring, and intelligent people. Erika had big plans for this year and was doing so good in life. She was such an amazing daughter, cousin, friend and such a pure human being. Erika had so much to offer the world and was going to do amazing things in this life. She was so excited to start college and start her fitness page and just do so many things in the world. Please don't take time for granted, we know she would be here taking full advantage of every moment. She was the type of person you could always learn something from.
The world has lost such a beautiful person and pure soul, but the heavens have gained a new angel. We know Erika's in a better place now smiling, laughing and taking care of us. We love you and miss you. Please watch over us and protect us as we go through these times; pour a little bit of yourself into all of us.
Erika is survived by her parents, Rene and Marcela Cruz; and two brothers, Erik and Omar.
