As I lay in eternal sleep, think of me being at peace on April 16, 2024, Elijah Isiah Santiago, 28 of Hamden; born in New Haven Oct. 29, 1995. He was an iron worker for Local 424. Elijah loved to spend time with his family, loved our Sunday dinners, loved being around his cousins and singing karaoke. He loved to watch UFC boxing and his job.
