JOHN "TACO" SANCHEZ

John Fernando Sanchez (Taco) John (Taco) Fernando Sanchez went to be with The Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday February 27, 2010. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. We know that he is our angel smiling down upon us now.John was born in Salt Lake City, UT to Shannon LeFevre and Gilbert Sanchez on August 28, 1975. John spent much of his early years with his grandmother Shirley, whom he dearly loved. They each referred to each other as "my favorite person." John grew up in Salt Lake City and Murray and attended both West High School and Murray High School. John had many, many friends who loved him. He had a compassionate heart and always was praying for complete strangers who "looked like they could use a blessing." John was dedicated to The Lord Jesus Christ and was the most faithful person any of us ever knew. John was also a great lover of music. He was a hip hop scratch DJ and was learning to play the bass. He enjoyed vinyl records the most and when he was a little boy, he received a new record player for Christmas every year, and by the next Christmas, his old one had been so worn out, that he needed a new one. John met his wife Jennifer in 1995, and the two had been friends for many years. They did not begin seeing each other seriously until 2007, but once that started, it never stopped. They each had enormous passion for one another and vowed to be with each other for all time. They have two beautiful children: Zoey who is 18 months old, and Zeke who is 4 months old. They will miss their daddy tremendously. John is survived by his wife Jennifer, his daughter Zoey, his son Zeke, his mother and step-father Shannon and Bob Jeppson, his father Gilbert Sanchez, his step-mother Annette, his brothers Andy Wanosik and Adam Sanchez, his mother and father-in law (Karen and Larry Bradford), brothers- and sisters-in law, aunts, uncles, and cousins, along with many, many friends.
