Pedro Sanchez Payan, 60, born on September 27, 1964 in Chihuahua, Mexico, son of Hortencia Payan. He unexpectedly passed away Friday, June 27, 2025. He finished some of high school as he had to get out to work to help his family. He came to the United States in his 20s. He moved around a lot to wherever there was enough work. Also, just because he loved to explore and experience different places. But his primary home was in Greeley, Colorado. His passion was anything construction so he worked various jobs with various job roles. He loved to learn new skills. He loved his seafood. He was a hardworking man basically working since he was a teenager. But, he loved to work and keep moving
He loved everything about nature. He loved to fish, swim, kayak, and much more. He even owned his own boat. He also loved cooking mostly anything. He loved his seafood. He also enjoyed doing home projects like flooring, painting, carpentry, etc. Our favorite memories are the spontaneous dance parties we would have and fishing days. He was a free soul always going with the flow and enjoying every day. He did not have one angry bone in his body, he was always happy with the simple things and life he had. He was very friendly and an inviting person to whoever he met. He was genuine and kind in ways we rarely see others be. His presence, humor, and kindness will be missed.
Surviving are his wife Maria Medrano; children, Daniela Sanchez, Jose Sanchez, and Julieta Sanchez Medrano; his grandchildren, Jazlyne, Jocelyn, Xochitl, Jesus, and Camila; his sisters, Irma, Patricia, Miriam, Graciela; his brothers, Alfredo and Lucio. And some much more family that cared for him so much.
Pedro Sánchez Payán, de 60 años, nació el 27 de septiembre de 1964 en Chihuahua, México, hijo de Hortencia Payán. Falleció inesperadamente el viernes 27 de junio de 2025. Completó parte de la preparatoria, ya que tuvo que dejar los estudios para trabajar y ayudar a su familia. Llegó a los Estados Unidos en sus veintes. Se mudó con frecuencia, yendo a donde hubiera suficiente trabajo. También lo hacía simplemente porque le encantaba explorar y conocer lugares nuevos. Sin embargo, su hogar principal fue en Greeley, Colorado.
Su pasión era todo lo relacionado con la construcción, por lo que trabajó en diversos empleos y en distintos puestos. Le encantaba aprender nuevas habilidades. Fue un hombre trabajador, prácticamente trabajando desde que era adolescente. Pero amaba trabajar y mantenerse siempre en movimiento.
Amaba todo lo relacionado con la naturaleza. Le encantaba pescar, nadar, hacer kayak y mucho más. Incluso tuvo su propio bote. También disfrutaba cocinar casi cualquier cosa. Le encantaban los mariscos. También le gustaba hacer proyectos en casa como colocar pisos, pintar, hacer carpintería, entre otros. Nuestros recuerdos favoritos son las fiestas de baile espontáneas que teníamos y los días de pesca. Era un alma libre, siempre dejándose llevar por la vida y disfrutando cada día. No tenía ni un solo hueso de enojo en su cuerpo; siempre era feliz con las cosas simples y la vida que tenía. Fue una persona muy amigable y acogedora con todos los que conocía. Era genuino y bondadoso de una manera que rara vez se ve en los demás. Su presencia, su humor y su amabilidad serán profundamente extrañados.
Le sobreviven su esposa María Medrano; sus hijos Daniela Sanchez, Jose Sanchez y Julieta Sanchez Medrano; sus nietos Jazlyne, Jocelyn, Xochitl, Jesus y Camila; sus hermanas Irma, Patricia, Miriam y Graciela; sus hermanos Alfredo y Lucio. Y muchos más familiares que lo querían profundamente.
