I attended the same schools as Rocky and he was a good friend,and will be missed.Used to see him occasionally at the gas station on stenger street,always had a smile ready.
To the Sanchez Family: Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4.
To Sadie his daughter whom we have come to love. Honor thy father through your smiles, enjoying life (as his friends all say he did), make him proud by making choices which help you grow, learn–As an angel on your shoulders, he and God are your true teachers–turn to him, and your Heavenly Father for guidance and clarity. We love you Sweetie, we are here for you and will support you in all that you need. The Vierra Family
God bless you my brother. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to see each other again. My prayers to your family. You will be missed!
MY prayers for all the sanchez family, and especially daughters and grandchildren, i have many many good memories in high school with Rocky, he was very generous to me. Made me a stronger woman!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Sanchez family, we join you in your sorrow and pain, we have lost a wonderful friend and co-worker. He will be missed on many levels but the one that will stay with me will always be the quick smile he was always ready to give! He enjoyed life and wanted everyone else to do the same, and for this he will be remebered forever.
