Henry Timothy Sanchez Jr.

November 29, 1986 ~ April 30, 2017 Henry "Hank" Sanchez Jr. passed away Sunday, April 30, 2017, in the presence of his beloved parents Henry & Lori, and sister Alexandria. Born in Stockton, CA, Henry was raised in San Diego, CA. where he attended Mission Bay High School.

Known as “Big Hank” by friends and family, Henry was nationally recognized for his baseball skills and in 2005 named USA Today’s and EA sports high school All-American. After receiving countless scholarship offers from Universities across the country, Henry eventually decided to sign with the Minnesota Twins after becoming the first round pick of the 2005 MLB Draft. When he wasn't on the baseball field Hank loved to be out on the bay fishing and golfing with friends.

Henry was thirty years old and is survived by his beloved four-year-old daughter, Alexandria Jade. There was nothing he loved more in life that being with his baby girl. From playground adventures to swimming in grandma and grandpa’s pool, he cherished being able to witness the exceptional individual she is becoming. His love for Alexandria Jade always encouraged open-mindedness and was grounded in the belief that her potential is limitless.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to St. Joseph’s Cancer Institute. Over the past four years, their kindness and compassionate care provided to Henry has made this difficult time easier to deal with.

Although Henry’s life was one lost too soon, his spirit will continue to live on in the people that surrounded him. Hank will forever remain a guardian angel to us all.
