David Santos was born in Puerto Rico on June 23, 1975, and passed away on March 27, 2024, at the age of 48. He lived a life filled with happiness, curiosity, and a great enthusiasm for every day.
Educated at Academia Discipulos de Cristo in Bayamon, David's intellectual curiosity propelled him to the University of Central Bayamon, where he embraced the digital world, earning an associate degree in computer science. His career in customer care at Farmers Insurance was marked not just by his professional acumen, but by the genuine connections he forged with those he worked with. As his cohorts would say, House of Tejada for life!
David was an adventurer at heart, with a passion for cruising the high seas and exploring the realms of Elden Ring and Final Fantasy VII, often sacrificing sleep for just one more quest. His fascination with PCs was a spectacle to behold—tinkering, upgrading, and occasionally "enhancing" his setup to the point of a spectacular malfunction, only to dive into a problem-solving marathon. Through these technological escapades, David embodied the spirit of perseverance and lifelong learning.
Above all, David cherished the moments spent with his beloved wife, Yuderka, his "gift from God." Despite his lukewarm relationship with movies, he saw them as precious opportunities to be with her, reveling in their shared moments of quiet companionship.
David's heart held a special place for his mother, Dora Sanchez, and his father, Diosdado Santos, who instilled in him the values of love, respect, and the importance of a life anchored in faith and gentlemanly grace. His sister, Dorita Santos, and his brother-in-law, Orlando Cruz "Orlanduso", also held cherished spots in his life, reflecting the warmth and depth of familial bonds.
His brother from another set of parents, Arnaldo Martin, stood by him as his steadfast accomplice and best friend for 15 unforgettable years, sharing innumerable escapades and laughter.
David's life story is a celebration of love, friendship, and the joy of discovery. As we bid farewell to a man who brought light and laughter to all he encountered, we invite friends and family to join us in honoring his memory. Funeral arrangements will be held on March 31, from 1-4 pm at 895 South Goldenroad Road, Orlando, FL 32822, where we will come together to share stories, laughter, and perhaps a few tears, as we remember a man who was truly one of a kind.
David, your legacy is etched in the hearts of those you've touched. Rest in peace, knowing that your journey was nothing short of extraordinary.
