He excelled in the Information Technology (IT) arena in Santa Fe, San Diego, CA and Las Vegas, NV. No hacker could get past him at his employer. Mark was intelligent, computer and code saavy.

He had a big heart and wanted to be recognized and loved during his life, he wanted to come home. Since COVID, he cared for his mother Marcia, moving back to Santa Fe.
The immediate Sanchez Family wishes to thank the numerous physicians, nurses, and wound-care specialists in Las Vegas, NV and in Santa Fe for their care and patience they exhibited. Special love and thanks to Jennifer Arreola (niece) for her help with the medical health care system assistance and compassion she had for her uncle. Special thanks to Andrew Sanchez for his companionship during the last weeks of his life and bringing him home safely back to Santa Fe, and his brother Mike for his unwaivering love and care.
