Miklo Lorentz Santiago

Miklo is survived his loving parents Sakeena Gomez and Lorenzo Santiago,

His cherished sisters Antoinette Ramos, Nickie Gomez, Lorena Santiago, Selena Santiago and his brother-in-law Benito Ramos Sr.

His beloved grandparents: Anthony & Marie "Chache" Gomez.

Uncle to his nieces: Avari, Serena and Rosie Ramos and nephews AJ Solis, Benito Ramos and another nephew on the way.

Nephew to many Aunts and Uncles. Cousin to many cousins and a great friend to all.

Miklo was quite the character, he was funny, optimistic, charming, handsome, polite, caring, ambitious, serious, protective, intelligently smart, and an artist. The way he moved his hand across a piece of paper with a pen, was like magic. The way he made words rhyme with a beat in the background was so much more than a talent. His writing and words inspired many.

May his soul rest in paradise.

Weep not for me, my family dear, I am not dead, but sleeping here as I am now, you shall be, so be prepared to follow me. Short was my life, long is my rest, to take me home, God thought it best.
