It is with profound sadness that the family of April Ludtke, who is from Middleville Michigan, announces her unexpected passing on September 10th, 2025 at the age of 48 at Metro Health hospital in Michigan. April was born in Bryan, Ohio to Juan and Myra Santos on September 25th, 1976. April was a lover of animals and the outdoors. She loved to tend to her garden. April was a beloved mother, sister, daughter, aunt and partner. She will truly be missed. She is preceded in death by her mother, Myra. She is survived by her life partner, Lincoln, her three sons, Morgan, Remington, and Seth, her father, Juan Santos, her six siblings, Jamie, Bonnie, Chris, Jeremy, Shannon, and Danielle, and several nieces and nephews. The family has decided to have a private service to remember their loved one.
