Life story

“Papi” Clodo K. Santillan was a beloved father and grandfather to the Santillan-Jimenez family. Married to the late Luz Santillan, Papi Clodo was known for his passion for life and love for his family. His legacy lives on in his daughter, Jasmine, her husband, Elvis, and his grandchildren: Cassandra, Ethan, Evan, Madison, and Julissa. We carry the memory of his great love for us in our hearts, and not a moment goes by that we do not recall the sound of his laughter filling the room, and his voice reminding us to keep going. This biography is to share some of the love we captured of his life, along with his wife. May we reunite again in Heaven, Papi. 🤍
