**Obituary for Christopher "Bubbs" Anthony Sanchez** It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Christopher "Bubbs" Anthony Sanchez, a bright light in our lives, who left us too soon at the age of 18 on January 16, 2026. Born on August 14, 2007, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Christopher's vibrant spirit touched all those who had the privilege of knowing him. Christopher was a beloved son to his mother, Brittany Naranjo, and his father, Harold Sanchez. He is survived by his cherished sisters, Amillia and Isabella Sanchez, as well as many loving aunties, uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents who will forever hold him in their hearts. A proud student of Caesar Chavez Charter School in Albuquerque, Christopher demonstrated a genuine love for learning that extended beyond the classroom. He possessed a kind and curious spirit, always eager to explore new ideas and deepen his understanding of the world around him. Christopher's energetic personality made him a joy to be around, and his generous nature was evident in the way he connected with his family and friends. Above all, Christopher cherished his family and found great joy in being surrounded by them. He had a profound love for music and enjoyed expressing himself through drawing, as well as a commitment to building a meaningful relationship with God. His playful humor and unwavering loyalty will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A celebration of Christopher's life will take place on January 31, 2026, at Riverside Funeral Home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from 2 PM to 4 PM. We invite all who were touched by his kindness and spirit to join us in honoring his memory. In the words etched on his tombstone, "May There Be Comfort in Knowing that Someone So Special, Will Never Be Forgotten." Christopher "Bubbs" Anthony Sanchez will forever live on in our hearts, reminding us of the joy and love he brought into the world.
