With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our dear friend Santiago Valdez, a talented DJ and passionate educator. His sisters, Vanessa and Vicky, and the entire family are devastated by his unexpected departure.

Three years ago, Santiago moved to Canada seeking a fresh start after tragically losing both parents to a drunk driver. He built a new life, finding fulfillment in helping children with learning disabilities and sharing his love of music as DJ DeaDHeaD.

We're raising funds via GoFundMe to cover expenses for:

- Funeral home preparations in Canada

- Government documentation

- Transportation of remains

- US Customs

- Funeral, memorial, and burial plot in the United States

Any contribution, big or small, will greatly assist the sisters & family. Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult time.

Share this campaign with friends and family.

May Santiago's music and legacy live on.

*The memorial date is an estimated date since we still do not have an exact date until his body arrives in Miami.
