A 68-year-old master carpenter who creates and hand-delivers memorial crosses in memory of mass shooting victims this week took two “heart-wrenching” trips he wishes he never had to take.

Greg Zanis, of Aurora, Illinois, told ABC News Monday that the sister of one of the El Paso Walmart attack victims contacted him to ask for a cross for her brother.

Without a second thought, Zanis got to work creating 20 crosses in the victims’ memory — and that number was since raised to 22.

“Immediately when I heard about it, I made these crosses,” Zanis told the network. “I made them fast.”

This was the first time he also created 26 “memorials” honoring the survivors — in the form of 18-inch blank, cut-out style figures holding hands with their arms outstretched.

“They look injured, but they’re standing up and alive,” he told the outlet.

Zanis hit the road on Sunday and arrived in El Paso by 4 a.m. Monday, he said.

Zanis recalled the moment he replaced a survivor’s memorial with a cross.

“I’ve never done that before… It’s just heart-wrenching. I don’t know what to make of all this right now,” he said. “I’m losing a piece of my heart.”

He told the outlet that he planned to make the more-than 1,500-mile trek to Dayton, where nine people were killed in an early Sunday shooting in a popular nightlife district.

There was no time for him to go home and “decompress,” but he said he turns to God for strength.

“I don’t mind sharing my heart with the world and the country,” he added.

Since his father-in-law was killed in 1996, Zanis was hit with the inspiration to make the crosses and deliver them for free, he told the outlet.

Three years after that, he created crosses for the 12 victims of the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado.

Once he retired from his carpentry job in 2016, he realized he had the time to deliver the crosses in person, he said.

He’s brought crosses to Parkland, Florida, following last year’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — and three months later, to Santa Fe High School in Texas in the wake of yet another shooting.

He also traveled to Orlando with 49 crosses in memory of the victims killed in the 2016 nightclub shooting, and then to Las Vegas in 2017 — this time with 58 crosses for the victims of the music festival massacre.

He also went to Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue back in October, but that visit was a little different.

“That was the first time I only made Jewish stars instead of crosses,” he told ABC back in February.

Tragedy touched close to home for him in February when a recently laid-off factory worker went on a shooting rampage at his former workplace, killing five.

“This is the last thing I wanted, for this to happen so close to my house,” he told the network at the time.

Just a month before that, he said, he lost his own daughter to a drug overdose.

“I haven’t had a moment of comfort since then,” he told ABC. “I’m comforting other people, I think.”

“I’ve got nothing with politics,” he added. “I’m not a church guy [and] I’m not a gun guy. I’m a guy about the heart. Our heart is broken here in America. I want everybody to know I love them.”
