Richard Dean Cruz Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Richard Dean Cruz of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who passed away on August 2, 2022 at the age of 33. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
He is survived by: his husband George R. Leach; his mother Mary Nishioka (Cruz) of Yukuhashi City, Japan; and his parents-in-law, Andrea and Sam Leach of Lemoyne, PA..
The pandemic was crushing to Dean's outgoing free spirit, and his dreams of pursuing fashion were indefinitely put on hold.
