Obituary For George D. Sanchez

George David Sanchez, 84, of Fremont, California, passed away on April 2nd, 2021. George battled with serious medical issues in recent years and showed his courage in life by facing his medical conditions with dignity and bravery. Despite his illness George remained an example of living life to the fullest until the end.

George was born to parents Andrew and Lucia Sanchez, on March 1st, 1937, in Decoto, California. George spent his younger years in Union City and Fremont California. In 1981 George moved to Carson City, Nevada and lived there until 1999. In 1999 George moved back to the family home in Fremont, California.

George married Virginia Montellano, the love of his life, in 1958, who survives him. George is also survived by his sons George (Toni), Eric (Mary), Steven, and Michael (Jody). George and Virginia have been blessed with eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. George parents Andrew and Lucia, his brothers, Hank, Andrew, Tony, and Frank have preceded him in death. Georges is survived by his brother Fred and sister Mary.

George was a dedicated family man who found the most joy when he was amongst his family. George was passionate about his family and would take his family snow skiing, camping, boating, dirt biking, and water skiing. George put the happiness of his family before his own fears and even though he was deathly afraid of swimming he regularly took his family camping and boating. Later in life one George’s great joys was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. A smile could always be found on Papa’s face as he attended baseball, soccer, and basketball games.
