Tomas Santi Pacheco, 70, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, September 11, 2025.

Born in Salinas, Puerto Rico, he was the son of the late Tomas and Gladys Santi Pacheco. He was the devoted and loving husband of Lydia E. Serrano, with whom he shared many wonderful years of marriage.

Tomas worked faithfully for many years at Tyson Foods until his retirement. He was admired for his strong work ethic and dedication, not only in his career but in every aspect of his life. Outside of work, Tomas’s greatest passion was cars. He loved cars and could often be found working on them in his spare time. He also loved sharing his knowledge of cars with others. Above all, he was a family man who found joy in supporting, guiding, and loving his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His family was always his greatest pride, and he will be remembered as a caring, supportive, and loving presence in their lives.

He is survived by his wife, Lydia, and his beloved children: Tomas Santi, Yamari Santi (Omar), Elisamuel Santi (Desiree), Jacquelyn Santi (Junior), Javier Santi (Gyoti), Joan Santi, Marilyn Soto Rodriguez (Javier), Geraldo Luciano (Angelica), and Angel Luciano (Yashira). He also leaves behind many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will forever treasure the love and wisdom he shared with them, as well as brothers and sisters who will hold his memory close to their hearts.

Tomas was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Jose Santi; and several brothers and sisters.

Family and friends will be received on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 414 E. King Street, Lancaster, PA 17602. A Funeral Service celebrating his life will begin at 11:00 AM. Interment will follow at Riverview Burial Park.

Tomas will be remembered as a hardworking, loving, and deeply devoted man whose greatest legacy is the family he raised and the love he gave so freely. His memory will live in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.
