Frank M. Sánchez

Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, February 7, 2025 at Ballard Funeral Home for Frank M. Sánchez, 91, who passed on Tuesday, January 28,2025. Family only viewing will be held on Thursday, February 6, 2025.

Frank was born on August 5, 1933 to Teodoro Sánchez and Margarita Mendoza Sánchez in Redford, Texas. Both parents preceded him in death, as well as two brothers Teles Sánchez and Dario Sánchez. One sister Luz Sánchez; one son Frank Jr. Sánchez; Two grandsons David Kann and Frankie Sánchez.

His family will always remember him as a hard worker, loving and caring person. His grandchildren will never forget the nicknames and songs he would whistle at all times of the day. Anytime he would visit his family, he would bring a treat showing his thoughtful consideration. He would not hesitate to help family in need, whatever the situation. The small things in life are the memories we will cherish forever; bringing his daughter lunch, taking his grandkids to the casino and bingo, and taking care of his cows. Nobody is perfect, and life is hard, but his heart was always filled with love for those around him until his last day. 

On December 24, 1954, Frank married Mary Magdalena Carrasco in St. John’s in Roswell. She survives him at the family home.

Frank will be missed by his daughters Frances (Ruben) Campos; granddaughter Melissa (Arturo) Duran, great-grandchildren Joshua, Jakey, and Melody; Margarita Sánchez; granddaughter Dionna (Danny) Granger; great-grandchildren Jaxon, Jade, and Jamison; son Tad Sánchez; granddaughter Eyrekra Sánchez (Joe Sais); great-grandchildren London Aguilar and Ace Sais; brothers Victor Sánchez; Helio Sánchez; Lee (Karina) Sánchez; Isaias (Gloria) Sánchez; Isai (Rosa) Sánchez; sisters Jacinta Sánchez; Manuela (Eduardo) Payen; nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers are grandsons Ruben A. Campos and Anthony R. Campos; great-grandsons Joshua Duran, Jakey Duran, Jaxon Granger and Jamison Granger.

Honorary pallbearers are granddaughters Melissa Duran, Dionna Granger, Eyrekra Sánchez; great-grandchildren Melody Duran, Jade Granger, London Aguilar, and Ace Sais.
