In August of 1950 Santiago married the love of his life, Consuelo "Connie" Molina in Odem, Texas. Santiago and Connie raised 8 children together, who grew up and made them the proud grandparents of 31 grandchildren and over 21 great-grandchildren. Mr. Coronado was a hard working farmer. In his spare time (not that a farmer and father of 8 really has much) he loved to play and watch baseball. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Mr. Coronado was also a member of the Eagles Club and the National Rifle Association. As much as Santiago enjoyed these things, he was a true family man who dearly loved his wife and family. Santiago was preceded in death by his mother and father; Aruellio and Adelina Coronado of McAllen, Texas, as well and two grandsons; Travis Owen Coronado of Powell, Wyoming, and Jeffrey Leroy Coronado of Basin, Wyoming, one granddaughter; Tara Rose of Temecula, California, two son-in-laws; Cliff Miller of Basin, Wyoming and Wayne Turner of Avon Park, Florida, as well as 6 sisters.
