Ricardo De Los Santos' Obituary
After a valiant battle against Parkinson's disease, Ricardo De Los Santos passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on June 25, 2025.
Ricardo was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and although he only lived there until his 12th birthday he was thoroughly Tex-Mex all his life. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Ricardo worked in the airline industry for over 30 years. He loved to cook, dance, enjoy the outdoors and, late in life, play the Native American flute. More than anything, Ricardo loved being a husband, a father and a grandfather. Family was the most important thing to him.
Ricardo's loving spirit will live on in his wife Josephine, sons; James and Joseph (Cathy), daughter Debra (Allen), grandsons Andrew and Benjamin, and sister Virginia, and in his nieces, nephews, siblings-in-law, and dozens of friends.
Norma, his cherished wife of nearly 35 years, preceded Ricardo in death.
