Socorro Alejandro Palacios, 26, passed away on May 12, 2026. Born in Lansing, Michigan, on September 7, 1999, he spent much of his life in Tennessee before returning to the Michigan area in 2018 to be closer to family. He was a resident of Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Socorro was one of three siblings, and family remained a steady center throughout his life. He shared a particularly close bond with his sister, Maria, a connection marked by loyalty and genuine affection. When his father returned to Mexico, Socorro followed him—an act that reflected the strength of family ties that guided many of his choices.
A hardworking man, Socorro spent most of his life as a commercial roofer, known for showing up, putting in the effort, and taking pride in honest work. He carried himself with an easy charisma that drew people in, and he approached life with a desire to live it fully—valuing the moments that mattered, especially those spent with the people he loved.
Socorro was a devoted uncle who cherished his nephew and niece. He loved Cole and Chloe deeply, and those who knew him best will remember the warmth he brought to family life. Among the memories held closest are the simple times of childhood, when everyone was together and life felt uncomplicated—moments that continue to offer comfort and meaning.
He is survived by his father, Norberto Rodriguez; his mother, Leticia Palacios; his brother, Luis Palacios; his sister, Maria Palacios; his nephew, Cole Palacios; and his niece, Chloe Palacios.
