Edwin Cruz Soto, West Valley City, UT—The community is deeply saddened by the passing of Edwin Cruz Soto. Edwin passed away following a prolonged battle with a heart condition that ultimately led to a heart attack and induced coma on September 22, 2024. Despite his family’s hopes for a heart transplant, Edwin tragically did not recover.
Known for his kindness and unwavering strength, Edwin touched many lives during his 18 years. His family, especially his twin sister, Edna, and his parents, Edna and Martin Cruz-Soto, fondly remember him as a fighter who always kept a smile on his face, no matter the challenge. Edwin inspired those around him with his resilience, proving that his heart condition never held him back from chasing his dreams.
Utah Development Academy (UDA) also shared their heartfelt message, asking for the community’s support. In their words: “Please consider supporting one of our own UDA families, who are trying to raise funds to cover the funeral costs for Edwin Cruz Soto. Edwin was sweet and kind to all who knew him. He played for UDA for a time as a child and often attended UDA events for his twin, our dear Edna. We send all of our love to Edna and the Cruz Soto family.”
Edwin’s family and friends have come together in this difficult time to remember the cherished moments they shared with him. They are also facing the financial burden of funeral expenses, and a fundraiser has been organized by Martin Cruz to help alleviate some of these costs. The community has shown their generosity, with donations being made by individuals such as Elia Panuco-Barrios ($25), Cesar Ale ($200), and America Robledo ($100), among others.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Cruz-Soto family. May Edwin’s memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this heartbreaking time.
