Santiago Burgos

Santiago Burgos, age 29, of Dennison, Texas passed away on Monday, February 22, 2021.

Santiago Burgos was larger than life. His humor brought us joy and his love brought us comfort. He was a son, a brother, a nephew, an uncle, a confidant, a comrade, a friend, and a Marine. In these roles, he was a model for what we should all strive to be. He cared so deeply for his family and friends and never let them forget it. Today, we celebrate Santiago, the way he touched each life he encountered, and the many precious moments we were fortunate to have with him.

Santiago is survived by his father, Santiago Burgos Sr, his mother Idalia Burgos, and his two brothers Saul Burgos and Eleazar Silguero. Sister-in-law Diana Martinez, Nephew Mason Burgos, Grandmother Elizabeth Andaverde. Aunts Belinda Sanchez, Virgen Cruz, Jesusa Cruz, Anita Cruz, and Karina Cruz. Uncles Sergio Sanchez Sr. Isidro Cruz, Martin Cruz, Julian Cruz, Reynaldo Cruz, Juan Cruz, and Albino Cruz. Cousins Karin Canterbury, Luissa Sanchez, Sergio Sanchez Jr. Grabiela Sanchez, and Pablo Canterbury. As well as his Godfather Abel Saldivar. Friends, Ryan Skibenes, Jordan Gonzalez, Ryan Murphy, Stephen Bovey, James Langley, Layton Nobles, John & Kylie Clay, Elisabeth Galdony, Kiara Sanchez, and Sean McCoy.

Santiago, you lived your life and served your country with honor, dignity, passion, and love. And you will be deeply missed.
