Esperanza Kim Santiago

August 25, 1999 — September 25, 2020

Esperanza Kim "Espy" Santiago, 21, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on Friday, September 25, 2020.

Espy was born on August 25, 1999 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Espy was a loving daughter, sister, friend, mentor, protector, and soldier.

All her life, Espy was defiantly, unapologetically herself. She was constantly exploring the world and all it had to offer. She was never afraid to take chances and put herself out there: with her job, her relationships, and her food.

Espy was courageous and caring: always taking care of her family and loved ones before herself. This can be seen in her roles in school clubs to her job at the University of Louisville Hospital, and the Army as a combat medic.

She was always true to herself and to those around her. Regardless of your relationship to her, you could always expect compassion and brutal honesty. She was loved by all those she touched.

Espy will not be forgotten and her legacy will be upheld by the many lives she has forever changed.

Espy is survived by her loving Mother, Jakyeong Santiago, Brothers, Ronnie J. Santiago, and Keanu K. Santiago, Grandfather, Jang Y. Kim, Grandmother, Sook J. Kim, Uncle, Joon H. Kim, Aunt, Cindy M. Kim, Cousins, Layla A. Kim and Logan A. Kim.

Visitation will be from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Monday, October 5, 2020 at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions - East Louisville, (235 Juneau Drive). Her Funeral Service will be at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, October 6, at the funeral home, with burial to follow at Floydsburg Cemetery
