Gaston Santos Llanes Delaree

February 11, 1987 – May 12, 2026

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Gaston Santos on May 12, 2026, at the age of 39.

Santos was a beloved son, father, brother, partner, family member, and friend. He had a larger-than-life personality and a gift for making people laugh. Whether he was joking around, teasing those he loved, or lighting up a get together with his humor, Santos brought joy wherever he went.

He was known for his strength, confidence, and determination, always striving to be the best version of himself. Beneath his tough exterior was a caring, affectionate, and loyal man whose heart belonged to his family. Nothing made him happier than bringing loved ones together for a cookout, a celebration, or simply spending time in each other's company.

Above all else, Santos loved his son. He spoke of him with immense pride and looked forward to every opportunity to see him. His family was the center of his world, and the love he had for them was evident in everything he did.

Santos also loved music, dancing, reading, and creating memories with those around him. He lived fully, loved deeply, and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his loving parents, his son, his girlfriend, his siblings, extended family members, and many friends who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.

Though his time with us was far too short, the love, laughter, and memories he gave us will remain in our hearts forever.

Forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered.
