It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Santos Mukenge Tshipamba, who went home to be with the Lord on September 13, 2025, at INOVA Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia.

Santos was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he spent his early years before building a life dedicated to faith, family, and hard work. A devoted husband and loving father, Santos was married to Sylvie and was blessed with five children: Jonathan Muamba Tshipamba, Djessica Okako, Jenovic Tshipamba, Joyce Tshipamba, and Christina Tshipamba.

He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his strength of spirit, and his generosity of heart. His presence brought comfort, guidance, and laughter to all who knew him.

Santos leaves behind his beloved wife, his five children, and a host of relatives and friends who will forever cherish his memory. Though his passing leaves an emptiness in our hearts, we celebrate the life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind.

Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in the coming days.

The family of Santos Mukenge Tshipamba extends their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
