He graduated from Pomona High in Pomona, California. He married Linda Martinez on December 9, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah in the Salt Lake City Temple. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Those that associated with Santos enjoyed his playful, serviceable, and humble personality. Santos was the embodiment of hard work and lead those around him through his example. He was such a great sport with his kids in all their adventures and requests. Perhaps most notable is the love he shared with his wife, Linda. They were both aligned in ambition, faith, values and killer dance moves.
We find comfort that he is reunited with his mom, Ofelia, whom he missed dearly and family members.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Martinez and his children: Lorenzo Martinez (6) and Sofia Martinez (5), his uncle Celso Palafox, aunt Amalia Pacheco and his siblings Oscar Martinez and Luis Martinez. He is also survived by his grandparents, Guadalupe Olivares Pulido and Eusebio Pacheco Parez, Rosalinda Palafox and Pedro Martinez. He was preceded in death by Ofelia Pacheco Olivares (mom) and Rosalinda Palafox (grandma).
