Felipe M. Sanchez

Felipe M. Sanchez, a beacon of love and joy, peacefully departed from this world on July 26, 2025, in Corpus Christi, Texas, at the age of 92. Born on February 5, 1933, in the vibrant city of Mexico City, Mexico, Felipe lived a life that was a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the joy of community.

From an early age, Felipe was known for his kind-hearted nature and unwavering dedication to family and friends. He was incredibly loving and full of life, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a warm smile. His selflessness was evident in his actions; truly, he would have given the shirt off his back to anyone in need. His vibrant personality and commitment to those around him left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Felipe had an infectious zest for life that carried him through many endeavors. He was particularly proud of his heritage, being a proud Mexican who embraced the beauty of his roots while cherishing the opportunity to become a documented American. This dual identity gave him a unique perspective on life, and he celebrated it with open arms.

His beloved sayings, which echoed through the hearts of many, encapsulated his optimistic philosophy. "You live, you love, and you live forever," he would remind others, emphasizing the importance of connection and compassion. His words, “Dying is only beginning the of eternity,” reflected his deep understanding of life’s ephemeral nature and the belief that love transcends even death. Furthermore, he encouraged the spirit of perseverance with, “You only fail unless you don’t try,” inspiring many to chase their dreams fearlessly. Perhaps his most cherished mantra, “Never stop dreaming,” served as a gentle reminder to those around him to embrace hope and possibility.

In his leisure time, Felipe found joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly watching cartoons, which he affectionately claimed were “good for the heart.” His light-hearted approach to such pastimes illustrated his youthful spirit and offered laughter to his family and friends, creating countless cherished memories. He also enjoyed playing with dominoes and marbles, activities that reflected his playful spirit and love for connection.

As we reflect upon the legacy of Felipe M. Sanchez, we honor a life lived with vibrancy, love, and purpose. Felipe has left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who loved him, and his spirit will continue to inspire all who carry forward his lessons of love, hope, and the courage to dream.
