ResearchHis gr grandfather was a Robert Castaway Carson, an adopted Cherokee Indian. The story goes an elderly William Carson came across the abandoned baby while strolling down a path around 1795 in Jackson County, TN. He knew the young Cherokee couple who live just on the other side of Mathew Creek, knew she was pregnant and couldnt care for the infant. So he and his elderly wife raised Robert. They told him the story when he was twelve and allowed him to give himself a middle name at that time, so he called himself, "Castaway".1

Biography

MarriageAug 2, 2009Quinta Luz Gardens, Oaxaca, Mexico
DeathOct 21, 2021San Francisco, CA, USA
ObituaryFeb 23, 2023Luis Iván Cruz Rodríguez
February 22, 1981-October 21, 2021
Luis was born on February 22, 1981 in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico and died of cancer at age 40 on October 21, 2021 in San Francisco, California. He was the third of six children of Carmen Rodríguez Ramirez and Mario Cruz Lopez. He was preceded in death by his aunt Julia, his grandmother Margarita, his godmother Kathleen and his cousin Enrique. He is survived by his wife, Meisha, his mother Carmen and his 5 siblings: Juana, Mario, Alejandro, Armando and Gabriel; as well as his father Mario. He is also survived by his godfather Bruce, his wife’s family (Charlie, Marilyn and cousins) and his Mixcoatl Anáhuac Aztec dance family.
Luis spent most of his life in his hometown of Oaxaca and at age 26 he immigrated to San Francisco. He grew up fast and learned to help at home. His siblings joked with him that he cooked them his favorite, salsas (sauces) with chorizo or egg or chicharron, but ALWAYS salsas. In his family, he was fondly called Negro (Black). As a youngster, he loved wreaking havoc with his siblings in the yard and picking mangoes fresh from their tree. At 15, he began working as a bagger and loved playing pool with his friends after work. From ages 16 to 18 he was a teacher in two isolated and impoverished communities in his state. He joined this rural program after seeing a commercial, “You can better your tomorrow.” He reflected that it was one of the happiest times of his life; he enjoyed teaching, often road donkeys, herded goats and spent time outside with his students. His deep love of nature and generosity of spirit started early.
Soon after teaching, he began jewelry making and became a silverworker and artisan. He did everything from Oaxacan filigree, to weaving, mounting stones, engraving and even mixed metal work. His love of metal led him to become a passionate welder and forger for over 16 years. Moreover, he was an active and proud union member of Shop Ironworkers Local 790. In early 2020 he was deemed a Master Mechanic in California after finishing a four-year apprenticeship program. It included blueprints, layout, welding code, structural, stairs, railing and ornamental. At work he was called Cruz, as there was always another Luis, but never one like him. He was a mentor and many viewed him as a master craftsman, particularly since he invented numerous tools. Somehow, he even made time for his hobbies of mountain biking and photographing hawks, eagles and hummingbirds.
In 2009, he married Meisha, with whom he shared a profound love for 18 years. Their happenstance meeting was from the movies; they locked eyes on a cobblestone street in Oaxaca and their connection blossomed quickly. They enjoyed many hikes admiring the hawks, cuddling up watching movies, prayers and ceremonies, nights out dancing and wonderful trips. They also savored annual visits to see his family, who Luis loved immensely. He was very close with his siblings and they adored and deeply respected him. Luis genuinely admired his mother: a strong, dignified and deeply spiritual woman. He honored her knowledge and was the only boy in the family that learned her tried and true tamale recipe. He started a tradition in Meisha’s family of making tamales every April; a custom that remains, as he passed down his ancestral wisdom.
Luis was proudly Mixtec, Oaxaqueño, Native American, Mexicano, and often studied about ancient Mexican lifeways. His paternal grandparents spoke Mixtec; however, it was regretfully lost in his father’s generation. In his 20’s he dreamed of starting an indigenous language institute in Oaxaca, which has at least 17 documented Native American languages. In 2008, Luis joined Mixcoatl Anáhuac, a San Francisco based Aztec dance circle, which quickly became the focus of his spiritual life. He frequently attended practices and danza (dance) ceremonies throughout the state with his danza sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. He was passionate about indigenous oral tradition and learning from his teachers and elders. Not to mention, he created all of his danza regalia from scratch, which involved intricate sewing and feather work. Luis was truly a talented artist and dedicated community member; in danza he was lovingly called Luisito.
Luis was a man of great integrity; for example, if he was going to bring flowers for the Day of the Dead altar he would bring hundreds of them, saying that it was important to truly honor the ancestors with an appropriate offering. He learned integrity from his mother. Luis is remembered as being gentle, kind, reliable, playful, talented, loving, humble, and grounded. He listened deeply with his unforgettable presence and smile that always expressed his care and support. Luis Iván, we deeply love you and miss you and, as you said, you will be flying in the blue sky as a hawk or an eagle. Fly high, our warrior, you will be shining upon us with your radiant love. ¡Mexica Tiahui! Ometeotl.
