Birth date: May 21, 2000 Death date: Jul 28, 2018
-A.J. Michael Cruse- One of the funniest and sweetest guys ever was tragically taken from us on Saturday, July 28, 2018, aged 18. He was born in Anchorage, Alaska on May 21, 2000 to Jennifer Riley. He moved to Wisconsin in 2005 a Read Obituary
I didn’t know AJ but knew a lot of the Riley’s from little on. Jenny was my sons babysitter when I worked at King years ago. Luved her. So sorry for their loss.
I was privileged to have AJ in my life and to call him a friend. We shared many moments with lots of laughter and jokes, my favorite memory by far was when we had an inside joke that he was ‘my dad’ and our other friend Angie was his ‘wife/my mom’. I’ll forever call him ‘my unbio dad’ and I don’t think he ever ‘ungrounded’ me from that one day, junior year.
He touched many hearts, including my own. Until we meet again.
My deepest condolences to everyone affected, friends and family.
May the weariness in your hearts, become more bareable and less heavy.
I remember when I first met A.J., we discovered that we were born on the same day, at the same time. Ever since we found that out we called ourselves "Soul Brothers". He was one of my best friends and I'll never forget everything he's done for me.
Aj was a student on the bus that I drove. Such a sweet boy. Seemed like he always had a smile on. So very sorry for your lose.
Iam sorry for your loss. He was such a great kid that was a big part of my sons Brett's life. Thank you for allowing him into our lifes. I will always remember aj.
