Rory F. Sanchez, born on August 26, 1966, in Seguin, Texas, received his heavenly wings on October 15, 2024. He was a beloved son, brother, father, and grandfather whose presence brought joy and laughter to those around him. Rory was known for his quick wit and playful sense of humor, often delighting friends and family with his sharp-minded banter.
He is survived by his loving mother, Maria Sanchez, and his siblings, Richard (Irene) Sanchez, Adelita (Ruben) Ramirez, and Annette Sanchez. Rory's legacy continues through his sons, Michael (Staci) Sanchez, Timothy (Kimberly) Regalado, and Daniel (Kristen) Sanchez, as well as his daughter, Megan (Randy) Gearghty. He cherished his role as a grandfather to fourteen grandchildren, who will undoubtedly carry forward the laughter and joy he shared.
Rory was preceded in death by his father, Regnaldo Sanchez, along with his paternal and maternal grandparents, and his long-time partner, Colie. His departure leaves a void that will be felt deeply by all who knew and loved him. Rory’s spirit and charisma will be remembered with warmth and fondness by his numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
