Early life
Cintron had a tough childhood. He witnessed as his mother lay in bed for months before she died of Cancer.

Cintron's father, however, kept regular contact with his kids. But when Cintron was 13, another tragic blow shook him: His father died of a heart attack, leaving him and his siblings orphaned on both sides.
