He was a long time painter foreman at LA Ship. He was a loving husband and father. He adored his parents. He was a hard worker and took pride in his work. He enjoyed traveling, singing, dancing, eating spicy foods and always carrying his jalapeno, and riding around in his Raptor. Everyday was a celebration for him. He had a spirit of joy and was always ready to party. He inspired us to always be together as a family and brought much unity. Sleep was the least of his worries because he was always on the go. He had the biggest heart and was always ready to help anyone no matter the time or place. He has left his mark on everyone that he has met. His heart grew at the sight of children. His memory will live in our hearts forever. To honor his memory is to remember his life.   He will be loved forevermore. Te amaremos y te extranaremos para siempre. Descansa en paz Omar “Pillin” Sanchez. Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the Sanchez Family.
