Alvaro Antonio Santos was born on April 15, 1949, in Atiquizaya, El Salvador.
He passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 15, 2023, at the age of 73. Alvaro moved to Canada in 1990 where he lived in Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba.
He will be remembered by his children Nestor, Gustavo and Andrea; daughters-in-law Rebeca and Yesenia; and his grandchildren Eva and Salma.
He will be forever remembered for his big smile, big hugs, sense of humor, always caring ways and deep friendships. He loved the simple things in life, listening to music, riding his bike, reading a book under a tree, walks in nature and above all, playing soccer. His career and passion were dedicated to education. The kids loved Mr. Santos as he loved them.
Alvaro was a religious man, and his family finds comfort knowing he is with God in heaven and is now reunited with his mother, Mama Tere.

Don Álvaro, era como yo llamaba. Lo vi varias veces en las escuelas de Winnipeg. Y unas veces en Brandon. Una persona muy respetuoso . Siempre lo recordaremos en la comunidad salvadoreña. Buen viaje a casa!
