Carmen Santiago - January 04, 1955 - April 26, 2024

Departed: 04/26/2024 (Brooklyn)

Obituary Preview: Carmen Maria Santiago, a beacon of strength and love in her community, passed away on April 26, 2024, due to heart failure. Born on January 4, 1955, in Cataño, Puerto Rico, Carmen's vibrant spirit and unwavering faith accompanied her throughout her 69 years of life. She departed from this world in Brooklyn, NY, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.

Carmen's journey began in Puerto Rico, where she was born into a large, close-knit family. She carried the warmth of the island with her when she moved to New York, a place she would call home for the majority of her life. A graduate with a high school diploma, Carmen dedicated her career to serving others as a social worker for HRA Casa 3. Her intelligence and courageous spirit were her guiding lights as she worked tirelessly to uplift and support the most vulnerable in her community.

A mother of two, Carmen's legacy lives on through her daughter, Tameka Alvarez Merritt, and her son, James Anthony Merritt. She was a cherished daughter to her father, Antonio Santiago, and a beloved sibling to her four sisters and one brother. Carmen was also the proud grandmother to six grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy and purpose to her life.

Carmen's interests were as colorful and diverse as her personality. She was known for her love of shopping, her passion for driving up 60th and 4th avenue in Brooklyn, and her playful yet feisty spirit that often came out in good-natured cursing and fighting. She had a soft spot for spoiling everyone she loved, ensuring that they felt her affection in grand gestures and small acts of kindness. An avid fan of wrestling and the television series "Law & Order," Carmen found comfort and excitement in the stories of heroes and justice.

Those who knew Carmen will remember her as faith-filled, intelligent, and courageous. She faced life's challenges with a resilience that inspired those around her, and her faith was an integral part of her existence. It provided her with strength and solace, and she often shared this with others through her words and actions.

One of Carmen's favorite quotes was from the esteemed poet Maya Angelou: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This sentiment was reflected in how Carmen lived her life, always striving to leave a positive impact on the hearts of those she encountered.

Carmen Maria Santiago's life was a testament to the power of love, faith, and determination. Her memory will be treasured by all who had the privilege of knowing her and feeling the warmth of her generous spirit. Though she may be gone from this world, her legacy of kindness and the memories shared with her will continue to resonate with her family, friends, and the many lives she touched.

Her departure leaves a void in the hearts of her loved ones, but they take solace in knowing that her journey was filled with purpose and passion. Carmen's story does not end with her passing, for she lives on in the laughter of her grandchildren, the resilience of her children, and the countless lives she brightened with her unwavering spirit.

Carmen Maria Santiago will be dearly missed, but the love she spread and the lessons she taught will forever be a guiding light for those she leaves behind.

Michael Stevenson - December 21, 1962 - March 05, 2024

Departed: 03/05/2024 (Brooklyn)

Obituary Preview: I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God laid for me, I took His hand when I heard Him call,

I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play, tasks left undone must stay that way,

I found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life’s been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free. Celebrating the Life Of Michael Stevenson Sunrise December 21, 1962 Sunset March 5, 2024 Memorial Service Saturday, March 16, 2024 Service from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Michael,

Dawn, April and George. Michael received his education from Brandes High School in lower Manhattan, as well as graduating while in the Job Corps, where he excelled

in learning a trade. Michael Stevenson joined both the Carpenter's Union & the Electrical Union, where upon completing his education in both of those fields, was a member in good standing, before his sight started failing but while there, he was very proficient in doing renovation and building structures. Michael was a “go getter” and even though his sight was failing, he was faithful in seeking employment to continue his journey of independence by becoming employed in maintenance work for a woman

name Ismene who assisted Michael with both work and housing as well. Michael was an avid fan of going to SkateKey where he enjoyed time on the skating ring floor with friends and having a good time. Michael had great abilities as a skater so you could be shown up if your skills was lacking. He

fancied himself as a dancer and could bust a few moves, if you let him tell it. He also enjoyed riding his bike and getting around town to meet other

people as well as various places to go out to. We would be remiss if I failed to mention here, two people who stood by Mchael through thick and thin. Luis (Lou) Galarza and Ivan Cruz stayed by Michael side in good times and in times of trials. These men opened their family and their lives to every aspect, no matter the situation and if medals could be given, gold would be a poor payment. We salute them all for they

have stored their treasures up with a clean heart. Mike leaves a host of cousins, family member and friends, such people like those who work for "Boss lady” Ismene, who showed love for him continuously, provided a place of residence and employment, so that Michael could remain independent. To you all, we are eternally grateful for

the kindness and love shown to him for it shall never be forgotten.

John R Eve Jr. - May 27, 1972 - February 14, 2024

Departed: 02/14/2024 (Brooklyn)

Obituary Preview: John Richard Eve was born May , 1972 in Brooklyn NY to Carol Ortiz (Billings) and John Eve Sr.

He was a loving father to Alexis, Pasquale, & Jayla. Adored grandfather to Megan & Dexter. Beloved eldest brother to Jaeson Eve, Jillian & Edward Knappenberger, and Carolann & Sylvester Colonna and Jessica and Jacquelyn Eve. He was a Caring Uncle to Crystal, Jaeson Jr, Essance, Jillian, TJ, Frankie, Kailynn, Giada, Skylah, Eddie Jr, Ethan, Sylvester & Frankie.

He was an Amazing Great-uncle to many great nieces and nephews. And a caring stepson to Judy Eve and Norberto Ortiz.

John was an alumni of PS 205, Seth Low JHS, & Lafayette High School.

He loved his Mother and father, his children and family more than anything in the world. His famous thing he would say is, he would go to the end of the planet for us, if we ever needed him and that there was no love greater than his for us. And he truly meant it, as much as he felt he couldn’t express it to the depths of what it meant when he said that to us. But we all knew how deep his love went.

No matter what struggles at the end of the day he deeply loved us so much. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for his family and also his friends and even strangers as long as you didn’t mess with his family, you were good with him.

Johnny was afraid of wildlife and anything that moved. He literally flipped over a table to get away from a big water bug and even tried jumping out of the car over a bee.

Johnny was a fun loving teddy bear who would give his shirt off his back for you and do anything for you, if he could.

He was also one of the toughest and bravest around. People from everywhere knew who he was. He was the “E” or “John Eve” He was his families protector!.

But I don’t want to shy away from his good looks and baby face that had all the ladies after him.

He just had this charm and Witte about him when it came to the ladies. And though he liked the ladies, Sheila aurroyo was a huge part of his life, and they loved each other very much.

We got to experience some of his wild adventures, and we’ve been by his side through all the ups and downs no matter what!.

We love him very very much and showed him in every way we could.

My brother Johnny would make just the smallest things so funny just by the way he would say it. It could’ve been the silliest things, but the way he said it and his facial expressions always had us cracking up.

We’ll never forget all the memories we were blessed to have with him throughout the years and is something we will hold with us forever.

We were like the Brady Bunch. There was six of us and we recently just said we were so proud and happy that we’ve all come so far and made it through so much and are still here.

It is extremely devastating to know that we won’t get to have those laughs and those great big hugs and kisses and tears with him anymore.

He was truly a legend, not only in his family, but in the streets, a Brooklyn night of Bensonhurst and other areas of Brooklyn. But everywhere he went, he made his presence known. It’s sad to say that our protector is no longer with us, but he will forever be loved and missed wholeheartedly and we will forever keep him alive.

We all pray to God that he is at peace and is in a better place, still laughing, still being the big loving teddy bear he was with all the ones we love and lost. And looking down on us, protecting us from above now!. Beloved son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, love and friend!. Fly high our brave Angel and may you rest in beautiful peace now. We love you so much.
