Joaquin Naputi Santos, age 73 was called to Heaven on Tuesday, September 17, 2019. Joaquin was born on the beautiful island of Saipan on October 31, 1945 to Jesus Ada Santos & Francisca Naputi Santos. Family is also known as familian Chungi.
Joaquin was a loving husband of 51 years to Delphina Camacho Santos. Together their family continues to grow. He will forever be loved and missed by his 5 children, 15 grandchildren & 3 great grandchildren.
There are no words that can describe how much Joaquin meant to his family. His loving and caring nature made everyone feel loved and welcomed. He taught his kids and his grandkids so many lessons in life that will forever follow us.
In his earlier days in Saipan he spent his time hunting, fishing, farming and spending time with his family. In 1988 Joaquin and his family moved to California to start their new adventure. He also enjoyed carpentry and working with his hands. He was always repairing items we thought could not be repaired. He always added his special touch to it. It felt as if he literally could do anything. He loved to say “What for? I can make it!”
As his legacy continues, he leaves everlasting memories for family and friends. As most of us remember his loving, caring, great hospitality and humbleness. We will always cherish his laughter and sense of humor.
