Fredo Santana was more than just a rapper.

He was a father, a son, a cousin and all sorts of other things.

Following Santana's death, Fredo's dad jumped on Instagram and paid tribute to his son born Derrick Coleman.

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.
