Publish in a newspaper
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Santos Mejia, who departed this world too soon on January 21, 2025, in Los Angeles, where he was born on December 15, 2003. Though his time on this earth was brief, Santos made his mark as a cherished son and a vibrant spirit. He was known for his infectious laughter and warm presence, bringing joy to all who knew him.
Santos was a dedicated warehouse worker whose work ethic reflected his deep sense of responsibility and commitment. Beyond the confines of his job, he was a passionate video game enthusiast; hours spent in exciting virtual worlds were where he thrived, often sharing moments of joy and camaraderie with friends and family through shared gaming experiences.
Throughout his young life, Santo's proudest accomplishment was the profound love he harbored for his son, a bond that shone brightly in his heart. He approached fatherhood with dedication and care, embodying the very essence of what it meant to be a loving parent. His love for his child was unwavering and will be remembered as one of the greatest legacies he leaves behind.
Santos is survived by his devoted parents, his father Danny Armando Mejia and his mother Yolanda Barajas and son Mathew Santos Mejia Their lives are forever changed by his passing, yet they carry with them the memories of joyful laughter and endearing moments.
We invite family and friends to join in celebrating Santos's life and the impact he had on those around him. Visitation will take place on March 8, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at East Olympic Funeral Home, located at 4556 E Olympic Blvd in Los Angeles. A Mass will follow at the same venue at 12:00 PM. Santos will then be laid to rest during a graveside service at Resurrection Cemetery, 966 Potrero Grande Drive in Rosemead, starting at 2:00 PM.
As we say goodbye to Santos, we cherish the love he shared and the memories that will forever remain in our hearts. His gentle spirit and boundless love will continue to resonate within us, shining bright like the stars he now joins.
