With heavy hearts, the family and community of St. Charles, Illinois, mourn the unimaginable loss of Santino “Sonny” Greco, who tragically passed away on his 5th birthday, May 27, 2025. Born on May 27, 2020, Sonny was a radiant light in the lives of all who knew him—full of energy, love, and a joy that transcended his young age.
A Life Filled With Love, Laughter, and Joy
Sonny Greco lived life with a vibrance that was beyond his years. A spirited and loving child, Sonny enjoyed every moment outdoors—whether playing sports, fishing with his family, or simply spending time with friends. His outgoing nature and love for socializing made him the heart of every gathering.
With his signature chipmunk voice, curly hair, cleft chin, and round face framed by Ray-Ban prescription glasses, Sonny was unforgettable. But it was his kind-hearted spirit and gentle soul that truly set him apart. Those who met Sonny were instantly drawn to his warmth, charm, and joy. He was truly one of a kind.
Deeply Loved and Irreplaceable
Sonny was the beloved son of Eddie and Marissa Greco and cherished big brother to Eddie Jr., Marcello, Francesco, and a baby brother soon to arrive. He brought immeasurable happiness to his family and held a special place in the hearts of his grandparents: Eddie and Lisa Greco, and Phil and Lisa Cusumano.
He was also a dear great-grandson to Pasquale and Gina Greco, Caterina (the late Frank) Cusumano, and Vera (the late Peter) Caruso. Sonny was adored by his aunts and uncles: Frank and Gina Cusumano, Pat and Brianna Greco, Vincenzo Cusumano, and Angelo Cusumano. He shared a special bond with his cousins: Analisa, Lisa, Gabriella, Eddie, Philip, Nina, Francesca, and Angelina.
Though his time on Earth was brief, Sonny’s life left an everlasting impact. His absence leaves a space that can never be filled, but his love and light will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
