In the beautiful words of Albert Pike, "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." This sentiment beautifully captures the essence of Ronald Santos’s life, who was born on the 21st of November, 1955, in Fall River, MA, USA, and who left us on the 31st of July, 2026.

Ronald, fondly known to friends and family simply as Ron, was a beacon of love and resilience. Though medically disabled and not formally employed, he never let his circumstances define him. Instead, he found purpose and joy in the simple yet profound act of being there for others. A man of few words but profound actions, Ronald was a testament to strength and the power of the human spirit. He spent his days making his corner of the world a little brighter, a little kinder, and a lot more loving. His legacy is one of courage, perseverance, love, and the priceless gift of his time and heart.

He is survived by his loving partner, Maureen Rodrigues. His devoted children, Justin Santos (wife, Lizzette), and Crystal Santos, who, in their father's footsteps, continues to embody the love, compassion, and resilience that Ronald exemplified. His grandchildren, Lillee Copley, Lola Copley, Benjamin Santos, Kaleb Santos, Jocelyn Pereira, Zachary Pereira, and Craig Kwasnioski. Ronald was preceded in death by his loving mother, Mary Santos, and daughter Tiffany Santos.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Ronald Santos lived his life by this mantra, and he will be remembered for the love he gave and the strength he showed. His memory will forever be a beacon of hope, resilience, and humanity.
