"Tato" <! >
Our heroic, son, brother, and uncle was taken from us by the hands of a weak man who he once called his only friend.
Quique has joined God, and now is our guardian angel, he is now with his father, Gabriel Sanchez, grand-parents Sanchez and Chavez and step-father Burnell W. Ellis.
Quique was quiet but very wise. He did not judge and he loved all his family unconditionally. He sacrificed his life to save the life of his mother. He loved his nieces and nephews as if they were his own children. "Tato" we love you forever.
Quique is survived by his mother; Gioconda Ellis, sister; Gioconda, Mark, Lindsay, Stephanie, and Jessica Myers, sister, Leticia and Michael McGuire, and their children Jeffrey, Dania, Jackilyn, Paul, and Valerie Jewkes, great nephew, Karson Jewkes, also brother, Gabriel Sanchez, and dear friend, Jeff Steen, sister, and family, Marty, Martha, and Andy Charnetzky, also survived by his "baby sister", "Ale" Alejandra C. Sanchez, "I am forever in debt for your sacrifice for me, my mother, and my three children Kasy, Memi, Chabelina Sandino" his baby".
Quique now you can fly as an eagle, spread your wings to be free, now you can do all things you wanted to accomplish yet the greatest accomplishment was the sacrificing of your life to protect the ones you loved. You don't leave empty handed, you are our hero and now our guardian angel. "Con todo nuestro amor," Tu familia."
