Saul Sanchez

Memorial services will be held for Saul Sanchez, 39, of Roswell, NM at 1:00 pm Monday, Dec. 17, 2012 at the Roswell Civic Center with Joe Madrid officiating. Saul passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012. Saul was born March 7, 1973 to Bonifacio and Gloria G. Sanchez in Roswell, NM. He worked at Spring River, NMMI and Country Club golf courses until moving to Denver City, TX. He was the head golf professional at the Yoakum County Golf Course. Saul loved his family and friends dearly and was full of life. He had a very special love for his father. There was never a dull moment when he was around and anyone who knew Saul knew that he was never at a loss for words, and everyone was fair game. If an award was given for “smack talking” we all know who would have won. He loved the game of golf and he was an avid hunter, a not so good dancer and a diehard Denver Bronco fan. He had a wide array of friends and lifelong friendships and touched the lives of many and will be missed by all who knew him. Saul was a caring man who would literally help anyone in need with no expectations of payback unless of course he was playing cards or golfing and a bet was a bet. He was the King to one, a father to three, a loving son and brother, El Diablo to some and a friend to many. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Betty Sanchez of the family home; his three daughters, Seairra, Byanka and Eko Fury; his father, Bonifacio N. Sanchez; his siblings, Karen Sanchez and Nick Montez,Bonifacio Sanchez Jr., Vonnie Sanchez, Mike and Sonya Sanchez-Garcia and Israel Sanchez all of Roswell; Sergio and Nancy Flores of Odessa, TX; Marisa Garcia of Clovis, NM; numerous nieces and nephews. Although he had many friends, Neil Bhakta was his one true friend whom he considered a brother. He was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria G. Sanchez, his sister, Rosemary Soto; his brothers, Frank Matta and Bobby Sanchez and his niece, Vonny (Von Von ) Sanchez.
