Fredo Santana was more than just a rapper.
He was a father, a son, a cousin and all sorts of other things.

Santana was found dead by his girlfriend Friday night after suffering a seizure in his LA home.
The 27-year had suffered liver and kidney failures last year. Afterward, he admitted drugs had wrecked his body and said he was getting help with his addictions.
