Cruz Borges Mociño

El 20 de septiembre de 2025, nuestro querido Cruz Borges Mociño, de 49 años, falleció pacíficamente en Kannapolis, Carolina del Norte. Nacido el 16 de julio de 1976 en Hidalgo, México, Cruz vivió una vida llena de amor, risas y trabajo duro.

Cruz fue un esposo devoto de Olivia Barrera Benítez y un padre orgulloso de sus hijos: José Martín Borges Barrera, Christian Kevin Borges Barrera, Joselin Borges Barrera y Cruz Yair Borges Barrera. También fue bendecido con el amor de su nuera, Jenifer Soriano Borges. La familia lo era todo para él y trabajó incansablemente para brindarles la mejor vida posible.

Tenía un don para conectar con la gente, ya fuera a través de una conversación cálida, una risa compartida o cantando las canciones de Vicente Fernández con todo el corazón. Cruz se entregó por completo a su trabajo como albañil, construyendo con la misma fuerza y cuidado que mostraba a sus seres queridos todos los días. En casa, sus gallos le hacían compañía, una alegría sencilla que siempre le dibujaba una sonrisa.

Conocer a Cruz fue conocer la bondad, la música y a un hombre con un corazón inmenso, asegurandose siempre que nadie se sintiera como un extraño. Siempre rodeado de amigos; su amor, su voz y su risa permanecerán en nuestros corazones para siempre.

Aunque tenemos el corazón roto, nos consuela saber que su espíritu siempre estará con nosotros.

El velorio de Cruz se llevará a cabo el jueves 25 de septiembre de 2025, de 6:00 a 8:00 h, en la Funeraria Whitley, 1748 Dale Earnhardt Blvd., Kannapolis, NC 28083.

Misa de cuerpo presente sera el viernes 26 de septiembre de 2025 a las 2:00 h en la Iglesia Católica St. James the Greater, 139 Manor Ave. SW, Concord, NC 28025. Su ultima morada será en el Cementerio Católico de Saint James.



On September 20, 2025, our beloved Cruz Borges Mociño, 49, passed away peacefully in Kannapolis, NC. Born on July 16, 1976, in Hidalgo, Mexico, Cruz lived a life full of love, laughter, and hard work.

Cruz was a devoted husband to Olivia Barrera Benitez and a proud father to his children: Jose Martin Borges Barrera, Christian Kevin Borges Barrera, Joselin Borges Barrera, and Cruz Yair Borges Barrera. He was also blessed with the love of his daughter-in-law, Jenifer Soriano Borges. Family was everything to him, and he worked tirelessly to give them the best life he could.

He had a gift for connecting with people—whether through a warm conversation, a shared laugh, or by singing the songs of Vicente Fernandez with so much heart. Cruz poured his soul into his work as a mason, building with the same strength and care that he showed his loved ones every day. At home, his roosters kept him company, a simple joy that always brought a smile to his face.

To know Cruz was to know kindness, music, and a man who never met a stranger. His love, his voice, and his laughter will remain in our hearts forever.

Though our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing that his spirit will always be with us.
