Franco and her husband, Luis, also of Charlotte; S. Eric Cross and his wife, Debra, with whom he resided; J. Scott Cross and his wife, Rachelle, also of Ladson; Gregory Cross of Charlotte; and Jonathan D. Cross, of Charlotte.
There are three brothers: James R. Cross and his wife, Evelyn, of Wilmington, NC; Kenneth W. Cross and his wife, Debra, of Groveland, FL; and Terry R. Cross of East Liverpool. Steve also leaves behind 21 grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and special friends.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Randall Lee Cross; a sister, Elizabeth A. Cross; and two sisters-in-law, Sandra Lee Cross and Kay R. Cross.
