Dear friends and family on September 3rd we regret to announce that Raphael Belarde born on June 21st 1971 in Los Angeles CA, passed on to our Heavenly Father on Thursday, September 3rd, 2020 at his home here in San Antonio TX.

He is survived by his Mother and Father Carmen and Angel Sanchez and his sisters Valeria and Karina Sanchez, his nieces Felicia and Genavieve Gonzales and nephew Diego Gamino and niece Natalia Gamino, great nieces Asheni Mac Gonzales, Eris Gonzales and great nephew Jaxton Gonzales.

With his love and strength he fought till the very end and kept on as long as he could.  His mother and father made sure he was with his family in his time of passing holding his hand till the very end.

He was a kind, sensitive soul, loved music, the city he was born in Los Angeles, California which he visited often and also lived there for a few years.  He was a very hard worker, loved music, good food, baseball and huge Los Angeles Dodgers fan. We will miss him tremendously, but he is now resting peacefully in company of passed loved ones with his grandparents and older sister Maria del Carmen.

May they all be together holding hands in the loving and peaceful realm of our Heavenly Father.
