Jeffrey Santos

Jeffery J. Santos, 38, of Providence, passed away on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at HopeHealth Hospice & Palliative Care in Providence. He was the beloved husband of Jennifer (Gonzales) Santos.

Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Jeffery was the son of Joaquin and Josefa (Guzman) Santos. He worked as a carpenter and was a proud member of the Carpenters Union Local 330.

In addition to his wife and parents, Jeffery is survived by his four children: Jeffrey Santos Jr., Jenaira Santos, Adelaida Santos, and Davina Santos. He is also survived by his brother, Joel Santos, and two sisters, Liany Camacho and Patricia Santos Guzman.

Jeffrey was a devoted husband, a loving father, and the steady heart of his family.

Of all the roles he held in life, none brought him more joy or fulfillment than being a father. His family was his world—his greatest pride and deepest purpose.

Jeffrey had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether offering a listening ear or simply a moment of companionship, he was a quiet pillar of strength for those who needed him. In his neighborhood, he was a familiar and comforting presence—always ready with a warm smile and genuine conversation that left others feeling uplifted.

Hardworking and humble, Jeffrey poured his heart into everything he did. His dedication to his family and community defined him. In quieter moments, he found solace in books and had a deep passion for history, always eager to learn and reflect.

Jeffrey’s legacy is one of love and kindness. He will be remembered not only for how deeply he cared, but for how deeply he made others feel cared for.
