Guillermo "Memo" Sanchez

November 4, 1946 - June 11, 2017

Guillermo (Memo) Sanchez Jr., went to our loving Lord on June 11, 2017 at St. Luke’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Memo was preceded in death by his parents Macaria and Guillermo Sanchez. Memo is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years: Juanita Sanchez; son: Guillermo Sanchez III (Elizabeth); granddaughter: Maria Dolores; sisters: Mary Sanchez, Leticia Sanchez. Lisa Salinas; brother: Richard Sanchez (Mary); special cousin: Dahy Araujo (Beto); brothers-law, Lupe Rodriguez (Maria E.), Ruben Rodriguez (Sandra), sister-in-law, Estela Rodriguez and Lucy Barrientos (Alfredo), and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Memo lived his life faithfully devoted to his family. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, but it was in the last ten years of his life that he found the most joy in spending time with his granddaughter, Maria. “Grandpa” was the proudest title he held. Grandpa’s eyes sparkled, like nothing else, at the site of his “chulita”, as he affectionately called her. He was so proud of every milestone that she achieved. He was so patient as she used him as a canvas while playing with stickers and markers. Simply put, Grandpa’s life revolved around his precious Maria. We thank you God for allowing us to have Memo in our lives and for the memories that we cherish. We will miss him dearly. Psalm 136:1 Den gracias al Senor, porque el es bueno, porque su amor perdura para siempre!
