Oswaldo J. Sandoval

Oswaldo J. “Ozzie” Sandoval, age 65, of Atascosa, Texas was called home to heaven on Saturday, December 9, 2023. He was born on July 31, 1958, to parents Octavio Sandoval Sr. and Francisca Jaramillo Sandoval in San Antonio, Texas.

He is preceded in death by his parents Octavio Sandoval Sr, Francisca Jaramillo Sandoval, and brother Ernesto Sandoval.

He is survived by his children, Elisha Frausto (David), Tina Sandoval, and Branden Sandoval; grandchildren, Elijah, Nehemiah, and Seraiah Frausto; and Leon Sandoval; brothers, Oscar Sandoval (Donna), Octavio Sandoval Jr, and Armando Sandoval, and numerous extended family members and close friends.

Ozzie graduated from Southwest High School in 1978. In high school, he found his passion and eagerness to learn in his automotive classes. After high school, he worked for over 20 years at Ancira in San Antonio and in Boerne as a master mechanic earning numerous certifications in automotive. After this, he started working at Southwest ISD Transportation Department as a diesel mechanic for 8 years. He continued his journey and was hired at John Deere where he worked for 3 years and ended his career at HOLT CAT where he became a master diesel mechanic. Ozzie was a friendly person who enjoyed getting to know his co-workers at the companies he worked for and because of the kind and helpful hand he always provided, he made many lasting friendships. He also took pride in his craftsmanship of being a master mechanic/diesel mechanic. His customers had confidence that if he was working on their vehicle or heavy equipment, they would be able to count on Ozzie to fix it and for it to last.

Ozzie was a dedicated and loving dad who raised his three children. He was a very proud and loving grandpa who loved spending time with his grandkids. He would love teaching his grandkids many life skills, going to their games, and would teach his grandkids how to fish. He was also a father and grandfather figure to others and was always willing to provide guidance and support to those who came into his life.

Ever since Ozzie could drive he owned a motorcycle. He enjoyed riding his different Harley’s and would travel with his family and friends to a variety of events. His family was everything to him. He would spend hours rebuilding motorcycles with his son and daughter, go on family trips to the coast, and would like to have traditional family barbecues very often.

He will be dearly missed and forever remembered by the everlasting memories he left with his children, grandchildren, family, and friends. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).

His children would like to thank their family and friends for their words of sympathy, your gesture of caring, and the love you offer them during this time.
