Frank Sanchez

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Frank M. Sanchez. On December 1, 2022 Frank left this life to join his love, Irma. Frank was born April 17th, 1941 to Juan and Paula Sanchez in Eagle Pass, Texas. Family was always important to him. At a young age Frank worked to help support his mom, brothers and sisters. His biggest priority was keeping his siblings in school while he worked in the fields. Frank worked in the hops and grapes for many years, before leaving to work for the Toppenish cemetery up until his retirement. In 1967 Frank was drafted into the army. When he returned home he met the love of his life, Irma. They eloped in 1970 and then later married in a church ceremony surrounded by family. Frank would tell everyone she kidnapped him, but Frank and Irma were inseparable. They had one son, Steven. Steven and Frank would spend hours working together in their woodshop. Frank loved being near home surrounded by family. He also loved being a grandpa. Frank is survived by his son Steven (Kindra), his sisters Nora (Alex) and Mary, brothers Ernie (Linda), Andy (Tencha), Johnny (Mary), and Epi (Jeannie), grandkids Elyse, Jace, Avery, Caitlin and numerous nieces and nephews and other extended family members. We would like to thank Marilynn who took excellent care of him after Irma’s passing. To order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Frank Sanchez, please visit our flower store.
