Henry Melendres

Henry Melendres Sanchez, 21 years old, passed away in his home on May 29, 2015.  He is survived by his loving parents, Enrique and Laura Melendres.  Henry will be remembered for the solid relationship between himself and his parents, a close family that could always be found together, embracing the friendships they created together and making all those around them smile. Henry was a friend to everyone and never hesitated to offer help to those who needed it.

Henry had a passion for many things, he enjoyed both physical and mental challenges and he could often be found playing basketball or a game of chess.  He had a passion for cars, in particular he loved Mustangs, something he inherited from his parents. Other hobbies that Henry enjoyed was collecting hot wheels and transformers, flying drones and creating music.

Henry was capable of doing so many wonderful things and always succeeded at what he put his mind to.  His creativity and abilities enabled him to quickly become a valuable asset to his employers.

Anyone who spent time with him would easily be won over by his humor and the many friends with whom he shared his time with, could tell you how much fun he was to be around.  He was an awesome friend, a great man and a wonderful son.  Henry, you will always be with us in our hearts
