Francisco Santos Jr who’s nickname was “El Cano”, was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico on July 7th, 1975 to Ana María Ríos and Francisco Santos Fernandez. He was the hardest working man you’ll ever meet. A true kind and gentle soul who was always a teacher at heart. Coming from very humble beginnings, he strived to achieve so much (and he did) as well as inspiring others to grow and achieve new heights in every aspect of their lives. His students can attest to the dedication, love and support he provided day in and day out. To his family, to his father, he was a best friend, the best big brother and protector to his sister, a father figure to his younger brother and the most doting and wonderful son to his mother. He passed away peacefully on May 20th, 2021 in his home surrounded by his family and their love. We will love you and remember you always Franky, you are our hero!!!
