In loving memory of our father, Telesforo V. Sanchez, age 74, of Rockford, Illinois, who departed from this world on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. He passed away peacefully, leaving a legacy of love, compassion, and cherished memories. Telesforo was born June 20, 1949, in Del Rio, Texas, to Felesforo (Tepo) and Ofelia Sanchez. He would move to Rockford, IL, with family, where he met his wife, Trinidad Soliz.
Telesforo worked at his family’s restaurant, La Amistad, for many years before beginning his career at UPS. There, he held various positions within the company, specializing in offloading aircraft. Telesforo worked for UPS for twenty-plus years until his retirement in 2013. He enjoyed watching Western movies starring John Wayne, rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, and attending family cookouts and functions. Also, an excellent dancer, avid traveler, and, most importantly, a true family man. He deeply loved his grandchildren and enjoyed attending all their sporting events: football, baseball, and volleyball. He will be deeply missed by all those whose lives he touched.
Telesforo leaves behind children: Leticia Smith, Vernon Smith (daughter and Husband), Idalia Sanchez (daughter) & Nicolas Sanchez (Son); Grandchildren, Trinadad, Sontino, Tepo, and Christopher; two great-grandchildren, and sisters Esmy Ortiz, and Diana Guerrero, who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him. Though Teles physical presence may be gone, his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched. He was preceded in death by his wife, Trinidad Sanchez; parents, Felesforo (Tepo) & Ofelia Sanchez; and his girlfriend of many years, Juanita Castro.
As we remember Telesforo, let us celebrate a life that was truly well-lived. His impact on the world around him was profound, and his memory will forever be cherished. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his memory bring comfort and solace to all who mourn his passing.
