Juan Sanchez

Juan Sanchez lived a beautiful and wondrous life. He passed away peacefully at 101 years of age, surrounded by his family.

Juan studied music at a young age and pursued a career as a musician. He toured with many famous singers such as Pedro Infante, Lola Beltran, and Jorge Negrete amongst others. As a musician he met and fell in love with his wife, Guadalupe, and they built a beautiful life together.

Throughout his life, Juan enjoyed spending time with his family, watching movies, sports, as well as arranging, writing, and teaching music. He loved his family and enjoyed travelling with them and taking pictures to capture memories.

Juan was a loving family member and was loved and respected by many and will be greatly missed by his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. He impacted many people and we will cherish those memories of him forever.

A private celebration of life ceremony will be held for family and close friends.

For information, please call (815) 741-5500 or visit his Memorial Tribute at www.fredcdames.com, where you can share a favorite memory or leave a condolence.
