Michael Sanchez Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kelso-Cornelius Funeral Home - Chambersburg on Jan. 8, 2026.
Michael D. Sanchez, 56, of Chambersburg, PA, passed away peacefully with his brother in Long Island New York on December 22, 2025. He was born June 18, 1969, in Manhattan, NY, the son of Jose E. and Sandra Lee (McClung) Sanchez.

Michael Sanchez was a passionate massage therapist for a portion of his professional career, embracing the opportunity the profession provided to heal others and form meaningful connections with those he served.

Micheal was a devoted motorcycle enthusiast whose passion for the open road reflected his adventurous spirit and love of freedom. He took great pride in participating in motorcycle charity events, generously giving his time and support to causes close to his heart and to the broader community.

Michael placed great importance on friendship and fellowship, cherishing time spent sharing meals and engaging in meaningful conversation with friends. He was also well known for his fondness for sweets, a small but endearing trait that brought smiles to those who knew him best.

He will be remembered for his generosity, loyalty, and the joy he found in life's simple pleasures.

Michael is survived by his daughter, Jordan Snyder, and siblings, Matthew Sanchez and Joseph Sanchez.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Kelso-Cornelius Funeral Home, Ltd., 725 Norland Ave., Chambersburg, PA 17201. The family will receive friends for a half hour prior to the service.
