George Sanchez, 40, from Espanola, NM, passed away unexpectedly on July 28, 2025.

George was born to Rickie and Beto Sanchez on April 6, 1985.

He is survived by his partner Crystal; his sons Joaquin and Matthew; brother Norman and wife Antoinette; nieces Samantha and Jasmine, nephews Norman (Veronica), Jacob, Josiah, and Jaiden; great-niece Adaline, along with many other relatives and friends.

George was very honest and very loyal. Anytime you stopped to talk with George, he was always so polite and respectful. He loved seeing you and enjoyed the visit; he had a huge heart and loved so hard. All his conversations included “how is everyone doing”, “tell everyone hi for me”, and “I love you guys and God bless you”. He was a hard worker and took pride in his work.
