value of kindness.
Those who knew Santos would describe him as the life of the party, always ready with a joke to
bring a smile to anyone's face. Santos's kind-heartedness extended beyond his family and
friends, touching the lives of all who knew him.
Throughout his life, Santos faced challenges with resilience and grace, including his battle with
Alzheimer's in his later years. Even as the disease progressed, his warm spirit and jovial
personality never waned, leaving a lasting impression on his caregivers and fellow community

Santos Pasillas, un querido esposo, padre amoroso y amigo atesorado, falleció en paz el 8 de
febrero de 2025, en El Paso, TX, a la edad de 74 años. Nació en el pueblo de San Mateo,
Zacatecas, el 10 de mayo de 1950. Santos fue un faro de alegría y bondad durante toda su
vida.
Los primeros años de Santos en San Mateo comienzan con su educación bajo la tutela del cura
local, combinada con las tareas del hogar. Al crecer, empieza a asumir más responsabilidades
en el rancho, además de ayudar a su madre a cuidar de sus hermanos. Siempre puso a su
familia por encima de su bienestar. Después de esto, comenzó un nuevo viaje que le llevó a los
EE.UU. a una edad temprana, a la vez que dejaba un legado a sus miembros más cercanos.
Siempre se consideró una persona aventurera por todos los lugares a los que viajó. Era un
alma libre.
Conoció al amor de su vida, Elsa, y juntos construyeron una vida llena de risas, amor y la
alegría de criar a sus cuatro hijos: Freddie, Karina, Yadira y Berenice junto con todos sus
nietos. Santos fue un padre, esposo y abuelo devoto que enseño a sus hijos el valor de la
bondad.
Los que conocían a Santos lo describían como el alma de la fiesta, siempre listo con un chiste
para arrancar una sonrisa a cualquiera. La bondad de Santos no se limitaba a su familia y
amigos, sino que conmovía a todos los que le conocían.
A lo largo de su vida, Santos afrontó los retos con entereza y gracia, incluida su batalla contra
el Alzheimer en sus últimos años. Incluso a medida que la enfermedad avanzaba, su espíritu
cálido y su personalidad jovial nunca decayeron, dejando una impresión duradera en sus
cuidadores y en los demás miembros de la comunidad.
El legado de Santos es de alegría, amistad y compasión. Su memoria será apreciada y se
mantendrá viva en las historias compartidas por sus seres queridos y en las innumerables vidas
que iluminó con su presencia.
Al despedirnos de Santos, celebramos una vida bien vivida, un hombre que nos dio a todos
mucho que recordar con cariño y gratitud. Su espíritu seguirá inspirándonos y su familia, sus
amigos y todos los que tuvieron el placer de conocerle le echarán profundamente de menos.
La familia desea expresar su más sincero agradecimiento por las muestras de cariño y apoyo
recibidas en estos momentos. La vida de Santos fue un testimonio de la belleza de las
relaciones humanas y del poder duradero de un corazón bondadoso y generoso
