Isidoro Milan Santillan

Isidoro was born on April 4, 1928 in Abilene, Texas to Jacobo and Isabel Milan Santillan. He married the love of his life, Julia Camarena on November 3, 1957. They spent 65 wonderful years together. Isidoro was a devoted Catholic and lifelong member of St. Mary's Catholic Church where he was a lector and cursillista. He enjoyed spending time with family, walking, fishing, biking, telling stories, reading his bible, and sitting on his front porch feeding his birds. Isidoro was a jack of all trades, but what he most enjoyed was cabinetry. He retired from City Cabinet Shop. Isidoro will be greatly missed by all that loved him.

He was welcomed into Heaven by his parents, his brothers, Basilio, Felix, Juan, Marcelino, and Gumercindo; his sisters, Anastacia Santillan Milan, and Celia Santillan, and his son in law, Gerardo Villeda.

Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Julia Santillan, his children, Maria Teresa Villeda, Martha Faz and husband Jerry, Fernando Santillan and wife Rita, Margarita Quinones and husband William, Gustavo Santillan and wife Kathy, and Esther Santos and husband Vidal. He is also survived by 18 grandchildren, Erica, Javier, Matthew, Thomas, Briana, Adam, Jessica, Sarah, Jacqueline, Jean-Nathaniel, Christopher, Joshua, Jacob, Crystal, Malachi, Melissa, Erica and Jakqulin, as well as 17 great grandchildren; his brother, Alejandro Santillan, his sister, Lucia Santillan Milan; and his faithful dog, Prieta.

The family would like to thank Dr. Cerna, the staff at Shannon Medical Center, Marie Moorehead and Maria Andrea Pineda of Girling Home Health Care and the many people who lent a helping hand throughout the years.
