Ricardo “Tuto” Santiago Obituary (1967 - 2016)

On June 10, 2016, our beloved Ricardo (“Tuto”) Santiago left this earth to be with our Heavenly Father. Ricardo left a positive impression on all of our lives. If you were fortunate enough to get to know him, he was a kind-hearted, selfless, and loving individual. Ricardo had a profound appreciation for the beauty nature has to offer. Ricardo had a fruitful life despite his bouts with poor health since 2004. After his miraculous recovery, Ricardo came to know our Lord, Jesus. For this reason, and despite our sadness, we must rejoice for we will see him again when we are called to be with our Father in Heaven. We were blessed to see the positive transformation he made as a son, father, husband, brother, uncle, and not least of all, friend. Though he left us unexpectedly, we are eternally grateful for the additional years God gave him with those who loved him most. Ricardo is survived by his mother, wife, children and countless family and friends. He was adored by all and we will mourn his passing for some time. Rest my brother, we will see each other again. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
