After it was revealed that he would be taken off life support today (June 6), Ralph Santolla (Devil’s Highway, ex-Deicide/Obituary/Death, etc.) has sadly passed away. The 48-year-old was previously in a coma after suffering a heart attack on May 29. R.I.P.
Ralph Santolla’s son Dorian Angelo Santolla commented:
“My Dad has officially left this life. I am so overwhelmed with love and gratitude not only for him and everything he did for me but for everyone who reached out to show their love for him and my family. There are so many of you to respond to that I would be here until my next life writing thank you notes. So, thank you all. Until we meet again dude, rock on 🤘.”
His mother Sue Santolla-Rocha also commented:
Good morning. Just so we all start to heal, Ralph Santolla is not laying on that bed at St Joseph Hospital. He has gone, and he is happy and at peace in heaven. I want to start your day with a little humor. My wonderful mother and Ralph grandmother passed away three years ago. One of my friends was trying to console me, Fred Parker, and had the comment that Ralph would be playing music for his Nannie..it just made me laugh to visualize Ralph playing heavy metal for his Nannie. OMG….it would be so funny… His Nannie was an amazingly strong woman and she would tell him, cut it down, and play something decent. I ❤ my son more than anyone can imagine, my heart is broken..but I know he loved me unconditionally and will always be with me. It is the same with all of us, he will be with you everyone, everyday and his love will surround us now and forever.i wanted to tell everyone that I have thousands of messages…I just can’t deal with it right now but I love each of you.
