Victor Manuel De Los Santos

Victor De Los Santos, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and uncle, passed away surrounded by family. He was born on February 20, 1946, in the country town of Barahona, Dominican Republic.

As a young boy, Victor moved to Santo Domingo to begin his journey toward independence. It was there he met the love of his life, whom he married just a year later. Together, they built a beautiful family and were blessed with three children and, in time, six grandchildren who brought endless joy to his life.

In pursuit of the American dream, Victor and his family left their homeland and came to the United States. He took great pride in raising his three children, all of whom went on to graduate from college—an accomplishment that filled him with pride and gratitude.

Victor’s work reflected his spirit of service and dedication. In the Dominican Republic, he worked as a cab driver, and in the United States, he became a school bus driver, loved by the many students who rode with him each day.

Those who knew Victor will remember him for his humility, his sense of humor, and above all, his deep love for his family. He was a proud grandfather, always protective and supportive of his grandchildren, a devoted husband who worked tirelessly to provide for his wife and children, and a wonderful uncle who cared deeply for his extended family.

Victor will be profoundly missed by his family and friends, who will forever cherish his memory and the love he shared with them.

“Forever in our hearts, until we meet again.”

Victor De Los Santos, amado esposo, padre, abuelo y tío, falleció rodeado del cariño de su familia. Nació el 20 de febrero de 1946 en el pueblo de Barahona, República Dominicana.

De niño se mudó a Santo Domingo para comenzar su camino hacia la independencia. Allí conoció al amor de su vida, con quien contrajo matrimonio un año más tarde. Juntos formaron una hermosa familia, bendecida con tres hijos y, con el tiempo, seis nietos que llenaron su vida de alegría.

En busca del sueño americano, Victor y su familia dejaron su tierra natal y emigraron a los Estados Unidos. Siempre se sintió orgulloso de haber criado a sus tres hijos, todos graduados universitarios, un logro que le brindó gran satisfacción y gratitud.

Su vida laboral reflejaba su espíritu de servicio y dedicación. En la República Dominicana trabajó como taxista, y en los Estados Unidos se convirtió en conductor de autobús escolar, querido por los muchos estudiantes que viajaban con él cada día.

Quienes lo conocieron recordarán su humildad, su gran sentido del humor y, sobre todo, el profundo amor que sentía por su familia. Fue un abuelo orgulloso, siempre protector y atento con sus nietos; un esposo dedicado que trabajó incansablemente para proveer a su esposa e hijos; y un tío entrañable que valoraba mucho a su familia extendida.

Victor será profundamente extrañado por sus familiares y amigos, quienes siempre guardarán en su corazón su recuerdo y el amor que compartió con ellos.

“Siempre en nuestros corazones, hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar.”

“El Señor es mi pastor; nada me faltará.” — Salmo 23:1
