Michael Santiago Obituary

Santi, I miss my first and fave roommate. You will always be in my heart no matter what!

We still talk about you as if you were still here....you will always be in our hearts Mikey.

Hi cousin, just would like to say despite the fact we didn't hang or talk as often I enjoyed your little chats we did have. I am sorry we didn't have more time together. You never really know how precious time can be until it isn't there anymore. Well I just wanted to say I love you and I think of you always. Your son is beautiful just like his dad, love you cuz!

For you little brother

Mikey when you left us, you left me feeling like i wasnt as good of a.brother as i coulda been,every day i think of some piece of advise i could have given you to prevent what happened, right down to a simple phone call, you are a great brother and i always told myself "hes fine, hell call if he needs me, hes a big boy, " all lame excuses . Seeing you when id.come over was cool and wed joke and have fun, everytime i go to the house i walk in and the first thing that comes to mind is when i open the door ul be sleepin on the couch . In which id stick my finger in your ear, or tickle your nose... Stuff a lot of people get mad at , but not you, udwake up and laugh and ask me whats up and how.things are goin , your accomplishments made me proud to be your brother and no matter how hard i try, il never be able to match your greatness. I love you man and i really ******* miiss you! I know your watching, protecting all of us , eli is amazing bro, and such a handsome boy just like you ! I dont have many stories about us , but the ones i do have i look forward to telling eli about when hes older and.can understand. Till then il live my life , raise maggie right and try to look after our family the way you would have , thats my promise to you. Today has haunted me everyday for the past year and not a day goes by where i dont think about my little monkey brother mikey and cant wait till we meet again. Tell dad i miss him too and have lots to tell him even though im sure he already knows. I dont feel like a big brother any more. I know i am but its just not the same without you. I love you with all my heart .

As you know there hasn't been a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Continue to watch over us, especially your family. You are forever missed Dude! i love you my friend!

We love you!

Hard to find words.. I miss you every minute and pray for a dream to see you alive again. God blessed me with you.. now how do I do with out you? Love you so much My Mickey Dude.. Mama

So I find myself typing on your laptop, listening to your music in order of what had the most plays to the least. I did my crying and now I am smiling. It hurts like hell to know you are gone, but I seriously have so many great memories with you that I cant help but smile. It is strange to call my brother my best friend, but without ever really saying it out loud I knew it. Sometimes its strange thinking that you taught me anything since I am the big brother, but you taught me to open up...When everyone was scared to get me to let all the pain out, you simply said, Im here for you bro, you can talk to me...that night I did, and it changed everything. I owe you more than you ever knew and Im sorry I never had the chance to actually tell you that, but I am left with the comfort that the last time we seen each other it was saying I love you followed by a hug that only the MikeyDude could give. I never knew how much you looked up to me until this past year that seemed so impossible to get through. I promise to continue to make you proud little brother, give Dad a hug for me and let him know we are going to be ok. Love you.

Thinking of you. So proud of you. You touch so many ppl. I love you, mijo.

I I never had a greater kid at Piotrowski Park when I worked there,,!
