Carlos David Santiago "Davie", 47, of Lancaster, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 14, 2020. Born in Lancaster, Davie was the son of the late Carmelo Santiago and Ana T. Cruz.

A very sociable person, Davie always went out of his way to be kind and lend a helping hand to everyone he could. A self-taught handyman who found great fulfillment in helping others. Davie will always be remembered for his contagious laugh. He brought a smile to the face of everyone with whom he came into contact. Davie loved to "jam" to freestyle music. Davie also enjoyed baking desserts. His specialty was the pineapple upside down cake, that was phenomenal! Davie also loved to spend time at the beach, fishing, and watching the Miami Dolphins, but most of all spending his days with his family and friends.

Davie is survived by his loving significant other, Shigufta Morales (Virmani). His daughters Diana Santiago and grandson D'Angelo, of Pembroke Pines, FL and Angela Santiago, of San Diego, CA. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins. Davie will be missed by all who knew him, but especially by his family who loved him immensely, including his siblings: Luz Diaz, of Miramar, FL; Juan Santiago, of Lancaster; Norma Rodriguez and husband Adrian, of Lancaster; Jose "Tony" Santiago, of Lancaster; and Ana Vazquez and husband Francisco, of Lancaster.
