He is preceded in death by his parents; Benjamin and Ruben Sanchez, and four siblings; Delfino Sanchez, Benjamin Sanchez, Kate Archuleta, and Esmerelda Martinez.

Jose was a devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, and son.
Jose enjoyed spending time with his wife; who has been waiting for him in heaven. It brings joy to know Jose and Mary have reunited in heaven and are both happily where they belong; together. They made so many memories over the 71 years together of traveling, dancing, gardening, competing on bowling leagues, and simply working together each and every day. Jose worked at Kennecott Copper Mine for over 30 years and served in the U.S. Army in World War II. He has always taken pride in providing for his family and has always put his family’s needs before everything else. Our father and grandfather will be remembered each and every day with love, respect, and strength. We love you Abeulo. You will be missed more than you will ever know and you are one of the best men we will ever know! Rest peacefully, you are now home. We love you with all our hearts.
