On June 26, 2021, at 4:45 a.m., Armando âPeeweeâ Diaz passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Cuba on Oct. 28, 1961. Peewee grew up in Miami, Florida, and came to the Keys in the late 1970s with his mother, Ramona Santana. Stock Island was his home, where he made many friends throughout the years. Peewee loved riding his bike around the island, and if you ever heard someone yell âyee-yeeâ you knew he was coming; that earned him the nickname âYee Yee.â He was a good man with a heart of gold, and he loved his family more than anything, especially the kids.
