“My father, Santiago Tapia will be missed immensely. My father tragically passed away at the age of 56. He had only just became a grandfather on May 7th of 2020 and while my son meant the world to him, their time together was very limited. My father had a difficult life growing up and this gave him the very strong character he had. My father did not leave behind a lot of money or prized possessions but he left me with the foundations of being a responsible, caring man. His legacy will be proudly passed on by myself, my son and all of those that will come after. This has been a extremely difficult time for us. My family and I will appreciate any donations so, we can give him the proper send off he deserves.”
