Carlos Santana confirmed the news on Facebook, writing:

We

time to

the
magnificent
spirit
of our

He transitioned unto the realm of light that cast no shadow
the eyes of my heart clearly see him right in between our glorious and magnificent mother Josefina and our father Jose... They are caressing his face and kissing his hands showering him with Light and Love
We love cherish and honor
your soul MEMO

Rest in peace, Jorge. You'll be missed.
