Javier Jeremias Sanchez

     Javier Jeremias Sanchez III, of Edna, Texas, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, July 23, 2023, at the age of 19. He was born in Victoria, Texas on August 15, 2003, to Javier Sanchez and Amy Sanchez.

     “Javi” “Heddie” “Jerm” “Jeremiah,” however you knew him was full of love and life. He made sure he impacted everyone wherever he went, he knew no stranger. You could never be mad because his hugs and kisses would make you quickly forget. God blessed us with someone what was truly one of a kind. From the moment he could talk he made friends. If he ever wanted to accomplish something he worked hard to make sure it happened. All the metals and trophies could not outnumber the many lives he impacted with his love. We will forever be grateful for the amount of time that Jesus lent him to us on this earth. Life will never be the same without him. We will be eternally grateful to the family and community that poured us with love and support during our most difficult time.

     Javier was a loving son, brother, grandson, and friend who will be dearly missed.
