In memory of
Santos Sr. "Sonny" Sevilla
November 16, 1938 -
April 7, 2019
Sonny was born in Urdaneta, Pangasinan to loving parents Eugenio and Potenciana. Sonny was the youngest child. He had 2 brothers and 4 sisters.
Sonny and his family later moved to Manila where they would settle into their new family home.
When it was time for university, Sonny’s father Eugenio, a Police Officer, urged him to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Sonny followed his wishes and studied for two years at the University of Philippines. Ultimately, Sonny decided to follow his calling, and following in the footsteps of his sister, brother, and father became a Police Officer.
He graduated with a Criminology Degree from the Philippine College of Criminology. Sonny joined the Quezon City Police Force for 2 years before transferring to Manila’s Finest.
One fateful day in 1968, wearing his full police uniform, he drove past Angie’s family store in his jeep. At just 15 years old, Angie fell in love with Sonny at first sight. Sonny was 30 years old.
Angie was so love-struck, she tracked him down and asked him on a date. This was the start of a love that lasted more than 50 years.
Angie and Sonny have 4 children: Senen (Jess), Eleanor Lou “Elaine”, Loida “Loi” (Edwin), and Santos Jr. “Rhys” (Parissa). He is also blessed with 6 beautiful grandchildren Elijah, Trejan, Rylen, Shay, Kai, and Cali plus 3 furry grandchildren Gandalf, Aguman, and Yiannis.
We lost him too soon to lung cancer.
