He was a painter by trade and was kind enough to take the time to teach others his skills to better themselves. He was lucky enough to make many long time friendships in his profession. Those of us that were able to spend leisure time with him know that he was a very kind and giving person. Being his favorite teams, he loved to sit and watch Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys football. His favorite past time was to visit, listen to Tejano music, and reminisce about old times. We love you and will miss you, Tio Joe.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mike & Carmen (Yannis) Sanchez Sr.; brothers, Mike Sanchez Jr. and David Sanchez; sister, Margie Garza; sister & brother-in-law, Roman & Mary Alice Campos; sister, Rosie Camacho; nephew, Michael Camacho; and brother-in-law, Gilbert Azua.
