Our condolences to the Cruz family and to Mike Timmers. Always enjoyed our chats with Francis. He made everyone feel welcome. Thinking of you at this sad time.

Mike and family, words simply can't express such a loss. I am so sorry for your loss. He has been part of my cooking page on FB for several years and we would chat through messenger from time to time. He will be missed. I am lifting you all in prayer for comfort and peace.🙏Teresa

I am sorry for the loss of your dear Francis. I did not meet him in real life but he was a Facebook friend for about 10 years. He was also in a cooking group with me. He was funny. He was cool. He was so proud of his beautifully created dishes of food. Love you Brother Friend. Going to miss you.

Words can't describe the feeling of loss for Francis. Mike, Juan - this is very sad news. Francis was such a lively spirit, caring, adventurous, and so creative. I pray for all of you to be able to find the strength to get through this heart breaking time. Love, hugs, tears Laurie Hopwood Forever Friend xoxo

My deepest condolences to the family and a special mention to my friend Mike Timmers. Both he and Francis always welcomed me so warmly into their home and their lives. The world is a little less bright without Francis. He was such a gentle soul and now his soul can rest. He will be remembered often and so fondly by myself and my family. Sending all my love to those who will miss him the most. Franny, thank you for always being a beacon of kindness in this world.

I still remember when you and Mike went to visit your dad in Monterrey, Mike wearing that sports shirt that said BIMBO and you guys laughing at it. One could tell John was happy having you guys around! I fell like celebrating your life, because, man! I sense you lived it plenty, with those whom you loved and who loved you back.

Mike, Juan and family I have no words. Although life made it harder to see each other as often as we used to, Francis has always had a very special place in my heart. The entire Cruz family always has. I know he is having the best reunion with Mammacita, your dad and Mike. As hard as it is to know he is no longer with us, I am sure you will see signs of him everywhere. Sending much love to you! Anna De Carolis Family friend.

The world has lost a creative, cheerful soul. Francis cut and styled my hair for years and on Crazy hair days when I was teaching, he actually made a bird's nest with twigs and plastic eggs in my hair! Another Crazy hair day he attached a starfish to my head and made a wave complete with blue colouring. Francis always was a joy! I am so sorry for the grief this brings to the family. Not knowing how Francis felt about life after death, I only hope he is dancing with his beautiful Mom in spirit. Take care of each other. Frank and Melody
