Nico Santos on Saturday evening revealed that his stepfather died after losing his battle with COVID-19 and that his mother is still fighting the infection. "He was a kind, caring man.
Friendly to a fault. He always greeted strangers walking past him with a chipper 'Good Morning!' and a big smile. He had a great laugh that filled the room with joy," he wrote of his stepfather's passing on Instagram.
As for his mother, the Superstore actor noted for now she does not require hospitalization. "The loss of my stepfather is devastating but what has gutted me is that this pandemic has kept my family apart," Santos added in his post.
