A shared love of motorcycles and cars

A balloon release organized for Tutt organized by his sister takes place Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. at Baywalk West near Laurel Avenue in  Keansburg. She asked those coming to wear or bring the colors red, gold or white.

A motorcycle ride called the “Show the Love Ride” to honor both takes place Sunday afternoon starting at 1 p.m. at Charles Avenue in Keansburg. The Facebook event notice for the event said they were friends and shared a love of motorcycles and cars.  Cross was a member of District 34 and District 2 Motor Cross, according to his obituary.

Cross was attending the Monmouth County Adult Vocational School to study to become an electrician, according to his obituary. He is a member of the Keyport High School Class of 2022.

A remembrance for Cross' friends and family is scheduled for Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon at the Jacqueline M. Ryan Home for Funerals in Keansburg.
