Virgil Eli Sanchez

Virgil Eli Sanchez was born swiftly on November 20,2024 in Casper Wyoming.

He passed peacefully in his earthly father’s arms, surrounded by his loving family, and entered into the arms of his Heavenly Father on April 9, 2025.

Virgil was a beautiful, strong and gentle soul. He overcame so many obstacles even before birth. Even in his pain, he would look at you with his big brown eyes and make you feel completely seen. Nothing else mattered in those moments.

He loved playing with his toys especially his giraffe, listening to music with his big sisters, cooing to his daddy, reading books with his mommy, and getting special visits from his Uncle Chris but his absolute favorite thing was being cuddled by his family and making them smile.

Virgil will forever be loved and missed by his parents Louis and Melissa Sanchez; his seven siblings ; Ava, Vivian, Evelyn, Genevieve, Vincent, Vera and Victor Sanchez all of Glenrock Wyoming. Grandparents Augustine Sanchez and Bernadette Gabaldon of Colorado. Mitchell Snyder and Kathleen Snyder of Casper Wyoming. Along with numerous loving uncles, aunts and cousins.

The family wishes to extended their gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in Denver. Glenrock Baptist Church. Christ Reformed Church of Casper and the Orrs Hope Foundation for their love and support of our family.

Memorial services will be held at the Glenrock Baptist Church on Thursday, April 17,2025, at 11am

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
