We are heartbroken to announce the death of our father, Santos Mercado. He passed away peacefully at the age of 89 surrounded by family. Our Dad enjoyed his grandchildren above all else and was always happy when they were around. He leaves behind his daughter Christina (married to Sandon Bate) and grandchildren Chelsey, Ian and Melanie Villarmarzo, his son Domingo (married to Cristina) and his grandchildren Dominic and Ashley Mercado. Dad moved up to Illinois to live with Krystie the last years of his life. Dad's final resting place will be in Miami next to his loving wife, our Mom, Maria.
Dad was a constant in our lives and in the lives of Chelsey, Ian and Melanie and there are no words to express how much we love him and how much he will be missed. Our only consolation is that he will now be with our Mom.
