Memories
In memory of a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, a friend, a life …
Luis Felipe Watson Dos Santos
Jun 27, 1986 – Oct 4, 2008
I grew up and had the honor of being childhood friends with Luis. He will be missed. Rest in peace buddy!
Thinking of you Luis and still missing you so. We have some relief now that the 4 who took your life will be all be going to prison. Now Kathy, Fred & Brigida don’t have to be put through an awful court trial. You will always and forever be missed and forever be remembered for your happy spirit. We know you are with us.
Much Love,
Mary-Jane
Hi All,
Thanks to all of you who opened your hearts and donated to the Santos family to handle some of the funeral and court expenses. It was and always will be appreciated. I am assisting in the memorial fund. Some of you donated with the specific purpose of helping the family cover their living expenses in San Diego. Since the trial isn’t happening, I will be contacting everyone I can through the email address you listed in the Pay Pal donation to issue a refund. You will have the option to decline, if you had wanted the money to go toward covering the funeral costs. If you donated a way other than Pay Pal it may take a little longer to reach you, but I will. With love-Barb
Luis,
I just found out about your webpage from your mom the other nite at Rocco’s. We go way back to the Pine Hollow days. I know your in a better place shinin down on all of us, smilin remeberin the good ol’ days. You were takin from us way before your time. I know you were on your way to great things. My pryors are with you and your family. You will never be forgotten. See you in the afterlife. Rest in peace.
I was in basic when i found out about lu’s death. and im still in shock. he was so amazing when we were in high school. he touched everyones lives one way or another….we all love you and God Bless your family
I am a San Diego State student and I remember that horrible day. This poor guy, Luis, I never knew him, but, Im sure he was a nice guy with his whole life ahead of him. The horrible powerful people behind this dont care about the people who really make this country successful — the average person who is striving for something much better in their lives. I am sorry for this great losse and I prayed for Luis and for the emotional healing of all who loved him.
my bad on my last post…luis you will always be remembered by everyone that ever got the chance to get to know you you where a great person and a even better friend…everyone who knew you was lucky…and you will be remembered for that and that how i will remember you keep it real bro!!!
louis you will be remembered by everyone who everyone you where a good person and everyone who ever knew you…ill always remember you!!!
Luis, I think im the only person that never really called you Lu. I always called u Luis, my clyde. I remember driving around listening to the 03 bonnie and clyde then the original from tupac, i even remember what street we were on when we were talking about being bonnie and clyde. I was just thinking about how i crashed my car outside your apartment and didnt have a car for a month, so we ended up having to walk from napa to the phi delt house that night…. it was a long walk, u told me that we had to be careful because it wasnt safe to walk around there at night… im extra careful in that area now. i remember so many special moments we had together.
i miss u sooo much!!!
LOVE YOU

NEVER FORGET YOU MY HOMIE….

Dear Luis,
It was tears of joy when I was informed that one of the four came forward. Family and friends, have faith, our prayers were well received. Keep praying HE hear us.
Love auntie Linda
Hi All,
There will be a vigil marking the first anniversary of Luis’s death on October 4 at 8pm at the parking lot of the Aztec Recreation Center on the campus of San Diego State University. Please join family and friends and please tell others about it.
I did not know this innocent stranger- but I can see a soul that had much to give and yet still to recieve, taken far before his time, my prayers are with him and his family. I hope that justice is served and it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful soul taken from us. God bless you and your family.
~Love from a Stranger
Hi Luis,
I will pray together with Brigida and your parents to get those criminals convicted. I’ll help out in any way I can. Hope God is taking good care of you up there.
Love,
Aunt Gabby
Hi Everyone
The trial for my cousin Luis’s murder is coming up real soon. Please keep your prayers going and help the Santos family by donating some $ for their expenses during the trial. Just simply click on the DONATE icon on the right and follow the steps. Thank you so much!
To Fred, Kathy, Brigida:
I remember a lot of my childhood with Luis in it. I think about him all the time and wish there were a way to make the world aligned again. Luis and I had not spoken for a while before he passed, but I am thankful for all the times we shared as kids and teenagers. He taught me in those youthful years a lot about life, friendship, strife over illness and supreme happiness. I pray for your family and for him, for reconciliation and justice. I hope this message finds you in high spirits. I miss you all and hope to you see you one day soon.
With love and respect,
-Paul

-Twan
Happy B’Day Luis… Am sure you are up there smiling down on everyone…God Bless!
Luis, happy birthday! Summer isn’t the same without you in San Diego.. I wish you were here to celebrate our birthdays together. It’s still so hard to believe any of this ever happened. I remember drinking uv blue and gatorade on the beach that was boiling hot from sitting in the sun. The night we met. Or the very last and best on Rae’s birthday. You changed so many people’s lives without even trying or knowing, especially mine. You have such a gentle soul that I loved to be around. I miss you everyday and know you are raging with the best up there. Til I see you again…rest in peace.
I love you always.
hey buddy, i am sitting here thinking about you. I miss you so much. I really dont know what to tell you. I miss you. I cant believe it has been so long since I have seen you. I keep me with you everyday. I am who I am becasue of you. I am so thankful for the time I was able to spend with you. There is not a day that goes by where I remember you, where I am thankful for knwoing that you were in my life. There are many time where i look over at my futon empty and see you there. I cheers you every time. I can feel you around me and all of us everyday. You are such a special person. I wish you were here to see how close we have all gotten…becasuse of you. I just saw a video of the gaints padres game and you came up behind me and hugged me to say you wrere getting out of there. It was good to see you. I love you and I miss you. You will always be with me close to my heart.
Dear friends and Luis friends. Santos family need your support and prayers. All we want is just justice, JUSTICE AND JUSTICE.
Please pray with love and faith. HE hear us.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of you.
Love auntie Linda
I am so glad to hear that the four suspect will be officially going into Trial. Please continue to pray for the Santos family. We also want justice for Luis!
Luis,
Your smiles, laughter, silly jokes, Mr. Bean moves, will always be in our hearts! WE will always remember you as the lovingly cheerful cousin.
Missing you.
Carina(Karen)
Kathy: I am so sorry. I remember our days at RCC and Oregon
State. I always admired how hard you worked to graduate and
knew that you would have the best kind of life. Both your
children are so beautiful. I really do not understand why
bad things happen to good people. I hope that we see each
other again some day. Go with God always and remeber where
you came from. You are one of the best people I have ever
known.
.
Fred and Kathy,

To the Santos Family,
I’m So sorry to hear about your loss. Your son, brother, grandson, friend seemed and looked like a wonderful spirit. I lost my brother last yr on Christmas Eve. He was only 27. I know how much it hurts but they have moved on to a better place and are in good hands. They will be strongly missed but we always carry them in iur hearts and memory for years to come, it will never fade. So in this very difficult time you all are in my prayers and i hope with time you all get through this. I’am deeply sorry. I know i did not know Luis or your family but his spirit shines bright through his pictures and i can tell he had a good soul. May he rest in peace and my your hearts be healed in time. God Bless.
All I can say is that we all loved you Luis, you brightened every day I saw you at CV. I can say that I never meet anyone quite like Luis, he had this happiness about him that was unexplainable I am sure the rest of our class feels the same way. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for Kathy, Fred & Brigida. We all pray for you…RIP Luis
-Wesley Bohn
I am glad to hear the news from Tio Jr. that the suspect were caught. Nothing much we could do to bring you back with us this Christmas, but I hope those who had done this to you will be able to admit what they did and receive their penalty.
Christmas will be different without you around. But you will always be in our hearts!
Love
Carina(Karen)
Dear Kathy & Fred:
I don’t know what to say

When we finish our assignments, we will all meet there
Lord be with you all
Love from Kelvie & James
luis
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY.. BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GLAD I AM THAT I GOT TO SEE YOU ON TUESDAY AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OF NOT SEEING YOU. YOU WERE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME I LOOKED UP TO YOU SOMEHOW.
NOW I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE DONE FOR ME. YOU WERE A GREAT PERSON AND AN AMAZING GUY.
I’LL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND TALK ABOUT YOU..
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE.
R.I.P
Dearest Kathy, Junhor & Brigida
It torn my heart apart that this could happened to our beloved Luis. He left us so soon with Big scars in our hearts.
Nothing in this world could bring Luis back to us, but I am certained he is in good hands with our God and is now among the angels praying for our safety and the safetiness of everyone on earth.
You three must stay strong and take good care of yourselves and justice will finally knock on Heaven’s Door for Luis.
Junhor, your songs dedicated to Luis on the funeral did touch million hearts and left everybody crying like a child. You are amazing!
You know you can count on me for whatever is needed. The distance will never keep us apart as family.
Now, let Luis Rest in Peace and someday we will all meet him again in Heaven.
Love and warmest regards
Marie
From unreal to real, from not believing to being convinced, Luis, it is true that you have left us and entered into the eternity - a place where no one will harm you anymore and where you could look at us from far above just like all the other angels are doing….
With love from your aunt & tio.
dearest Luis,
the last words you said to me were…”I’ll see you in Christmas”.
Althought everyone will come to an end of the road, but only HE knows why you were taken before us. Time will heal our pain but our LOVE to you is eternally. Luis, although we missed you dearly but, we have let you go for this is a journey all must take and each must go alone.
May you rest in peace in God’s garden next to Avotong.
with love
auntie Linda
To the Santos family,
Our thoughts are with your family…

Dear Luís,
It was a state of shock when I heard U’re gone, my heart was broken with grief indeed and it’s so hard to believe that is true. Though we haven’t got a lot of chances seeing each other, but I still remember ages ago, U showed me a lots of beautiful places in San Francisco, recommended me some of your favorites records, playing TV Games and tried great snacks out there….. and now they are just images that I find. I’LL ALWAYS LOVE U MY BROTHER AND WILL FOREVER STAY IN MY HEART.
Condolences to Tio Jr. & All the Santos’s Family. I LOVE U ALL.
R.I.P. Luís, until we meet again.
My heart is breaking for you. This is so tragic and senseless and I am so sorry for all the pain you are feeling. My prayers are with you every day and I hope that as each day passes you are able to heal.
All My Love,
Raina
Lu,
You are missed! I’m sorry you had to be taken away from us so soon. You were a great person and always made me laugh no matter what. “We get inappropriate!” .. I’ll remember never to play beer pong with dixie cups anymore haha. Thanks for blessing me with your presence. I’ll always remember the good times we all had together. May you R.I.P <3
Dear Luis, Fred, Kathy, and Brigida,
You are all very much in my thoughts. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you in this difficult and shocking time. I am deeply saddened, but whenever I reach for memories of Luis, I can only find things that make me smile. Here is a particularly funny one:
Brigida, Luis, Phillip, and I are playing at a creek nearby your home. Luis is probably 10 years old at the time. He eyes the creek and declares that he can “definitely clear it” in one jump. The rest of us look at the 6 ft wide creek and know it is in impossible. Brigida tells him to stop being silly. But he insists and bravely runs down the hillside, leaps into the air, and jumps….into the middle of the creek. We all had such a good laugh! I will remember Luis for his easy going attitude and ability to laugh, even when he had mucky green algae seeping into his pants. I will miss him very much!
Miss you detroit. Thank you for being you. You truely did have a light and a gift for talking to people about anything, and i especially loved the light you got when you talked about real estate. It will forever remind me of you. You will never be forgotten. RIP<3
Dear Kathy, Fred & Brigida
Our hearts are grieving with you, and we think about you all the time. No parent should ever have to bury a child. We are all affected by this horrible incident. Luis, may your soul rest in peace. We will meet some day.
Our deepest sympathy,
Ingrid (marie’s daughter) & family
Another person taken… Its hard to understand but as times goes on Im starting to see that the process of life is not for our understanding. Its for unseen reasons that you and Blake were taken… May your Heavenly stay be bright and painless! Give Blake kisses for me!
Mohammed Luis … You were a true brother and friend to me and always will be … This is just the part where you float down a different river than i do … But at the end our rivers will meet again and we can share our experiences with each other … I appreciate you soo much brother and have soo much respect for you and i know your gonna do it bit up there with my brother Blake … Imma chill down here for a bit and make you guys proud of me … This is one for you BABY !!!
One Love, True Love, Nutin but Love
Take it easy and ill see you soon brother …

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best!
With all my love

I miss you Luis! I’ll never forget chasing you down the street or you falling off your skateboard and just lying there–it happened so often you were used to it. Thanks for walking me home..which was about 50 feet. Your striped towel shirt was so soft, and so was your heart:) I miss you
“woman”
Dear Luis,
Thank you for being here for me when I needed you all. Your face lit up the room. You always had a smile for me…for Blake.
Now your with him; I hope you two can see/feel all the people who love you with their heart and soul.
Luis your not here but there…Amen brother, Amen.
I love you,
Ht’s Tanya
Dear Luis,
Although we didn’t have the chance to know each other, and never will…, but I still remember when you were a baby boy, you came to Macau with your family. It’s hard to beleive it, that you’re gone, but you will never be forgotten, we all miss you forever and love you so much.
Rest In Peace and may God bless you.
Love, Julie

Dear Luis,
It is still unreal to me,
I will always remember you as an incredibly funny cousin. I always remember laughing when i was around you, you could always put a smile on my face. On anyone’s face!
You will always remain in my memory with all the summers in San Fran. - Me begging you to come swimming, even though the water was cold or even just sitting in your room watching you play video games.
I looked up to you so much, you being the older cousin, I would love to follow you everywhere. Just sitting next to you was enough for me.
Luis, you were a great soul, and I’m going to miss you a lot. I already do.
Now, you are with Atong in a better place. You will always and forever be in my heart.
I love you Luis.
Char
Condolences to the family and hope that a cousin that I never get to know will finally find eternal serenity.
Rest In Peace Luis
Dear Luis,
Although we didn’t get to meet up, I’ve heard so much about you. You have brought a lot of laughter to the Santos family, you should be proud of yourself for having so many cousins and relatives loving you. Im sure they will never forget the happy memories that you gave them.
You will always be in our hearts, God bless you.
R.I.P.
Philip
R.I.P. and may God bless you.
May God bless you and keep you.
Luis’s spirit will forever shine upon this earth and live in the hearts of everyone that ever had the honor of meeting him. Stay up my dude!
Dear Luis,
Really don’t know what to say… I’m still shocked!!! Can’t believe that you are gone!!! Although we haven’t got a lot of chances to meet, but I still remember when I went to San Francisco ages ago, you were begging Tio Jr. for the ear piercing and that you asked Tio Jr. why he had one and that you were not allowed to have it… Time passes quickly and you became a very charming man…
“No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why…”
R.I.P. Luis! Hope that you didn’t suffer too much…
We all loved you & will always do!!!
Love,
Patricia
Dear Luis,
The last thing you told me…”Happy Birthday. I’ll see you in Hong Kong in April.”
You always brought us laughter and kept us entertained during many of our family gathering. Your Mr. Bean acting is the most classic one that brought the family tons & tons of laughter. I will always remember that you used a ziplock bag as your purse when you were young and I taught you to speak the different colors in Chinese with M&M.
Luis, I am proud to be your cousin. Although you are going far away from us to be with Atong, your laughter, smiles, voices and every little things that you had done will always be closed to our heart. I love you and miss you forever.
With Love,
Carina (Karen)
