Pedro Danilo Apostol Santiago

June 29, 1948 - November 28, 2020

Our dearly beloved Pedro Danilo A. Santiago, better known as “Danny,” has joined our Creator last November 28, 2020 at their simple home in Waipahu, Hawaii. He was 72 years old. His soul departed peacefully while he was asleep, as he entered the gates of the Heavenly Father and joining the eternity life with the angels and saints, where happiness and joyfulness is served daily for free. Danny was born on June 29, 1948 in San Luis, Pampanga, Philippines to Luis Santiago and Roberta Apostol Santiago. He was the third and only son of four children: Rowina, Normita, and Ederlina. He spent his elementary days at Shamrock Elementary School in Laoag City, Philippines, and his high school years at Ilocos Norte National High School in Laoag City, Philippines. He graduated and earned a degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila, Philippines. He tied the knot with his one and only supportive partner on April 10, 1977, and was blessed with three adorable and precious gifts from God. His last job before moving to the United States of America was a municipal head staff of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte Municipal Hall in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, Philippines, and managing his own family business. On May 26, 2006, he migrated to Hawaii, USA with his wife and his youngest child, leaving his two eldest children and one grandchild at that time, to seek for a greener pasture. He lived in Waipahu, Hawaii with the rest of his family to start a new chapter of their lives. He worked as a production worker at HPC Foods, LTD. in Honolulu, Hawaii until his very last day. Danny was extremely loving and caring to his family. He was a devoted father, grandfather, and husband. He is survived by his most loving and affectionate wife, Gumersinda; his two caring and dutiful daughters, Jennifer Marie and Jessica Theresa; his one and only optimistic son, Jerome Michael; his two reliable sons-in-law, Melbourne and Bryan; and his three grandchildren, whom he cherished, adored, and loved equally and unconditionally, Jeneal Marianne Elyssa, Jeiden Paul Miquel, and Jeirold Rafael Mikyle. Heaven has truly gained another angel. You are now watching over us, your loved ones. You will be missed by many. You will always be remembered. You will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts. We appreciate all your sacrifices and hard work, and for always putting our family’s needs first before you. We are truly grateful that we have you for just being you. Saying thank you is not enough for everything that you have done and have shown to us. We love you so much until eternity, Papa, our Papu!!! This is not yet a goodbye. This is not yet the end. This is just your crossover into your eternal life, Papa. There will be no more pain, sorrow, and suffering. Enjoy your new life up there, Papa!!! We will see each other again, Papa!!! “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30 **Due to unexpected circumstances, there is a CDC Guideline for Visitation and Funeral Services that must need to follow. As much as we want to allow our relatives and friends to join us in paying our last tribute and honor to our beloved Danny, there are restrictions and limitations that we need to follow, and we hope that everybody understands this, as Danny did not want to happen this unforeseen situation of our environment. In fact, Danny would be more than happy to see each one of you pass by to him while saying “Have a Good One Up There.” And so with these guidelines, there will be a Limited Private Visitation and Memorial Tribute on December 29, 2020 at O’ahu Mortuary Chapel. Cremation Services to be followed on December 30, 2020 and will be laid to his final resting place in Ilocos Norte, Philippines when COVID Pandemic is over, and when it is finally safe to travel. **For any questions and additional information about the Limited Private Visitation, please contact Jerome Michael Antonio Santiago at (808) 748-9765. -Jerome Michael Antonio Santiago-
