Pedro Claver Perez-Cruz, 73, of Pilesgrove, NJ, passed away on July 3, 2025.
Born in Oaxaca, Mexico, Pedro was the beloved son of Santiago and Maria (Cruz Alavez) Perez-Cruz. He built a full and meaningful life rooted in both hard work and a deep connection to the land. He owned property in Allegany County, North Carolina, where he cultivated Christmas trees and enjoyed the peaceful pastimes of hunting and fishing-activities that reflected his appreciation for nature and solitude.
Pedro is survived by his devoted wife, Merenciana, and their children: Jose Perez-Cruz (Rud), Daniel Perez-Cruz, Minga Perez-Cruz, Saul Perez-Cruz, Elizabeth Perez-Cruz, Santiago Claver Perez-Cruz, Juan Perez-Cruz, and Jose Jr. Perez-Cruz. He also leaves behind his siblings: Pedro Simon Perez-Cruz, Francisca Perez-Cruz, and Cristina Perez-Cruz, along with many cherished grandchildren and one great-grandson.
Family and friends are invited to attend services on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at the Adams Funeral Home, 64 Broad Street, Woodstown, NJ 08098. A viewing will begin at 12:00 PM, followed by the funeral service at 1:00 PM. Burial will take place at Lawnside Cemetery.
Pedro will be remembered for his deep love of family, his connection to the land, and the legacy he leaves behind through his children and grandchildren.
