Angel Santos Rosa Sr.

Angel Santos Ramos Jr., a beloved husband, father, and friend, called home on October 5, 2024, at the age of 64, in Philadelphia, PA. 

Born June 27, 1960, in the picturesque town of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, Angel's journey through life was marked by countless cherished moments, an unwavering commitment to his family, and an infectious spirit that brought joy to all who knew him.

Angel dedicated over two decades of his life to the Puerto Rico State Police from 1980 to 2002, where his strong character and caring nature made him a pillar in his community. His commitment to service was further exemplified during his three years in the United States Army, where he displayed bravery and resilience. Throughout his career, he embraced the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others, always showing compassion and understanding in his work.

Those who had the pleasure of knowing Angel can easily recount his remarkable sense of humor and loving personality. He was a true jokester, whose laughter could light up any room and has left a lasting impression on his family and friends. Angel cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, exhibiting a warmth and caring nature that created bonds that will never be forgotten. He reveled in family gatherings and treasured the times spent with friends, especially his extended family from the Los Rumberos Jeep Club. The joy of taking his jeep into the mountains ignited a special passion within him, and these outings were where he created some of his most treasured memories.

Angel is survived by his devoted wife, Maria Rivera Rodriguez, and their son, Angel Rosa Jr., who continue to carry on his legacy of love, laughter, and strength. His memory will remain alive in the stories shared by his loved ones and the indelible mark he left on each of their hearts.

As a true embodiment of love, care, and community spirit, Angel Santos Ramos Jr. will be profoundly missed but forever remembered. His life may have been a journey marked by service and devotion, but it was also a testament to the joy one can bring into the lives of others. May he rest in eternal peace, knowing he was deeply loved by all who were fortunate enough to have crossed his path.
