Eustacio Soto Jr.

March 4, 1948 – May 12, 2026

Eustacio Soto Jr., born March 4, 1948, passed away on May 12, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, memories, and devotion to his family.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Benita Soto; his son, Benito Soto; his parents, Eustacio Soto and Erminia Soto; and his brothers, Juan Soto and Agapito Soto. We take comfort in knowing he is reunited with them.

He is survived by his loving children, Elisa Soto, Lydia Soto Rodriguez, and Eustacio Soto III; nine cherished grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren, who were the light of his life and his greatest pride.

He is also survived by his siblings, Jose Soto, Daniel Soto, Eusebio Soto, Luis Soto, Teresa Pineda, and Rita Tapia, along with many nieces and nephews who will carry his memory forward in their hearts.

Eustacio's life was defined by his love for his family and the quiet, steady way he showed up for everyone around him. He was the kind of man you could always count on—always ready to help, always willing to give, and always happiest when surrounded by the people he loved

He found joy in the simple things: fishing, cooking meals for his family, spending time with his dog, and being the go-to person whenever something needed to be fixed or put together. More than anything, he treasured time spent with his family, creating memories that will continue to live on.

Eustacio will be remembered for his strength, his humor, his quiet faith, and the unconditional love he gave so freely. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in every life he touched.
