Ricky Lowell Santos

Our beloved Papa, Ricky Lowell Santos, age 76, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. He is remembered as a man devoted to his family and his country. Notorious for his quick wit and sense of humor, Papa loved to banter if you were up for it, yet was truly a teddy bear at heart. He cared deeply for his family and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. A decorated Vietnam War veteran, Papa served his country proudly as a sergeant of the 101st Airborne division. Survived by his wife, Esther Santos, his children Ricky (Kathy) Santos, Eddie (Tanya) Mendoza, Eric (Alexza) Mendoza, Michael Mendoza, Nicolette Mendoza, 25 grandchildren and one great granddaughter, Ricky Santos leaves behind a legacy of love, laughs and sleeveless t-shirts... Although no longer with us here, we carry his memory with honor until the day we are reunited with him in Heaven. Love you Papa :)
