He was an amazing man and every sense! Unwaveringly supportive, kind, loving and spirited he was a far from ordinary man who was taken before his time. A father of three, he was a tireless guardian and patient caretaker who always put others before himself. We will miss him more than words but will always remember his lust for life and generosity.

Growing up around him I always felt welcome and loved. “Mi casa es su casa” was a platitude at his home and we always felt like family there. You could only have the greatest respect for that kind of man, that kind of “Family”. One that raised a disabled daughter with such grace and poise that it made you feel proud to be associated with them.

David loved the simple things. Barbecues, ball games and tinkering in the garage are the ways I see him in memory. He would always take time to tell me what was going on under the hood of his Comet, a classic car his was always improving. I’ll always remember being under his arms with his son, singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at the top of our lungs at our precious Dodger Stadium, home of the team we love! That’s how I will remember David Sanchez! May he rest!
