George was born February 22, 1936, to Evaristo and Juanita (Martinez) Sanchez in Asherton, Texas. He worked in the agriculture industry all his life. George had many interests and hobbies. He enjoyed listening to music, Little Joe being his favorite. He loved being outside and enjoying the sun, playing his guitar, and watching wrestling and The Three Stooges. George also enjoyed watching movies, one of his favorites being The Urban Cowboy. But perhaps George’s greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Santos Sanchez; three daughters, Erlinda Ascencio, Sandra Sanchez, and Maria Guadalupe Sanchez; a grandson, George Sanchez, III; and one sister and his parents.
Those left to cherish George’s memory are his children, Oscar Sanchez, Sr. (son), Juanita Sanchez (daughter) and husband Juan, David Sanchez (son) and wife Minerva, Juan Sanchez (son), Patricia Sanchez (daughter) and husband Miguel, and Jorge Sanchez (son); 20 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
