Life story

Dhariel was born here in Tampa, Fl although he took very much pride in being Dominican. His parents are Martina Urena and Jose Cruz, his youngest and only sister Glorie Cruz, and his grandparents Martha, Froilan, Ysmenia and Sergio. Dhariel loved and cared for his family so much. Growing up with his grandmother and mother’s cooking Dhariel came to find a love for being in the kitchen. He loved to experiment and make all kinds of foods. He makes all of his food with love and talent. It never disappoints!! Dhariel also had a love for cars and his favorite were old school Camaros. He had a special love for music and will bring out his dance moves anytime any place. You were very lucky if you were able to be blessed with having him in your life. His infectious smile, humorous jokes, and his kind heart made him so beautiful. He made a positive impact on everyone’s life. We are all so blessed to be able to have enjoyed the amazing soul he is. We miss you so much and talk to you everyday. We love you. You are Free.
