Basilio “June” “Tata Base” B. Santiago, 76, of Front Royal, Virginia passed away on October 2, 2023 surrounded by his loved ones.
Basilio was born on June 26, 1947 to the late Basilio S. and Purification Santiago.
Surviving Basilio are his loving wife of 49 years, Rosario P. Santiago; his children and their families, Charo Santiago (fiancée Terry Ebaugh, son Casey Santiago with partner Janessa and daughters Valentina and Isabella Santiago), June Michael Santiago (wife Joanne Masiclat Santiago, daughter Pia Santiago), June Basil Santiago and Nina Norris (husband Andy Norris, daughters Lianna and Marciana Norris).
He was a man of few words, loved eating out with his family, road trips, camping, steaks and crabs. He was his family’s MacGyver and Jack of all trades. He was an excellent mechanic and loved working on cars.
A Celebration of Life will be held by his family at his home at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to his family to assist them during this troubling time.
We met “June” several years ago during our trip to visit our son Terry and Charo. Terry was so impressed with his knowledge of cars and had told us of so many wonderful things June had helped him with. We are so blessed to have met June and his family. Our thoughts and prayers with all his family.`
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
Sending our deepest condolences,
