Antonio "Tony" Santistevan

Antonio A. Santistevan After lifting his arms towards heaven while surrounded by his wife of 66 years and family. Antonio left this earth for the eternal peace and life with our Creator on the morning of November 2, 2015. At only 85 this quiet and humble man was admired by all who knew him. "Patron" as he was addressed by many was fitting for this hard working, generous, and caring man. He is proceeded in death by his parents Octaviano and Ambrosita Santistevan, and an unborn child and brother Ramon (Elvira). He is survived by his wife Agapita, daughters Sylvia (Michael), Christina, Agnes (Andy), and sons Orlando (Elisabeth), Felipe, and Diego. He is also survived by 7 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren, numerous nephews, nieces, relatives and friends. Rosary was recited by his family on November 6, 2015. Funeral mass was held on November 7, 2015. Both were held at San Francisco de Asis Church. A drive/visit by the family was made to his beloved Oratorio de San Isidro before the private burial was held at the Santistevan cemetery.

Dino, Deacon Pat and Delfina, the Catholic Daughters and Church Choir, Gilbert and Gloria, Jennie and Ramon, all who helped serving the meal. Arrangements by Rivera Family Funeral Home.
