John Phillip Santos

July 15, 1981 — June 20, 2024

John Phillip Santos, born on July 15, 1981, in San Jose, California, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and community spirit. The youngest of eight children, John shared a special bond with his twin brother, James Santos. He was the beloved son of Nijen Santos and Bruce Wing.

As a young boy, John shone brightly on the baseball field. His love for the game never waned as he continued to play recreationally well into adulthood. John also had a deep love for music and enjoyed spending time on his boat, often taking family and friends on relaxing outings on the water. 

During John's early career, he contributed to the foundation of what is now Shoe Palace, a testament to his strong work ethic. Later, he transitioned into logistics and transportation, where he was a valued team member, admired by his coworkers for his dedication and amiable nature. John’s ability to forge genuine connections was one of his most remarkable traits and the bonds he formed were cherished by many. 

Above all, John was a devoted family man. He was a present and loving father, taking immense pride in his children’s accomplishments, always their biggest supporter. He had a courageous and committed battle with cancer that showed his strength and resilience till the end. John is survived by his beloved wife Cheryl and their four children, Bobbie, Kalani, Nitaya, and Thalia. His presence in their lives, marked by boundless love and unwavering support, will be deeply missed, but forever remembered.
