<div>Last Thursday, August 29th, we unexpectedly lost our beloved father, Claudio Sam Santos. He was a private man who always tried to protect and take care of those he loved, even when he was facing challenges of his own. In July, Dad was hospitalized, and it was then we discovered that he was battling kidney failure and lymphoma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His strength and resilience during this difficult time were a testament to the kind of man he was—strong, loving, and selfless. We believed we were on a path to recovery, but his passing came suddenly and has left us heartbroken. Dad was not only a father but also a best friend, a protector, and a guiding light for those who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In accordance with his wishes, there will not be any formal services or memorials. Instead, we will honor him with a direct cremation. For those who have asked how they can support us during this time, we have set up this fund to help cover the cost of his cremation. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and would help us give him the simple and loving farewell he wanted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
