Tricia Francine Diaz Santos

Tricia had many titles throughout her life, but the one that truly defined her was friend.

The eldest daughter of Henry and Patricia Santos, Tricia was known for her gentle spirit and warm, welcoming smile. Quiet and sweet-natured, she may have been small in stature, but her heart was enormous. Her presence brought a calm, steady comfort to those around her—a heartbeat we could always count on.

Whether it was diving into a good conversation, catching the latest game, shedding a tear during a heartfelt movie, or binge-watching the newest show, Tricia was always up for quality time with loved ones. It’s not the grand occasions or lavish gifts that we’ll miss most—it’s the simple moments we shared with her, the ones that made life feel whole.

Tricia now rejoins her beloved father, Henry Santos, and grandparents, Vicente and Magdalena Diaz and Jesus and Margareta Santos, in God’s eternal kingdom. She leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory and love her deeply:

Mother – Patricia Santos

Brother and Sister-in-Law – Benjamin and Donna Santos

Nephew – Benjamin

Niece – Tabitha

Nephew – Henry

Sister and Brother-in-Law – Corinne and Andre Spears

Nephew (Godson) – DeVante Spears and Lanaye Fernandez

Great-Nieces and Nephews – Kalaya, King, DeVante, and DeVeah

Nephew – Andre Spears

Nephew and Wife – Sammie and Kayler Spears

She is also survived by a large and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins across Arizona, California, and Guam—each one touched by her kindness, laughter, and unwavering love.

Tricia’s absence leaves a space no one else can fill, but her memory will live on in every heart she touched.
