Claudino “Dino” W. Sanchez, a bright and beautiful light in the lives of all who knew him, passed away surrounded by his family on June 25, 2026, at the tender age of 16 months. Born on February 15, 2025, to Claudino and Denise (nee Mitchell) Sanchez. Dino brought an abundance of joy, laughter, and pure love into this world during his short but deeply meaningful time with us.
Though his time on Earth was far too brief, Dino’s vibrant spirit left an everlasting mark. He shared an exceptionally close, joyful, and inseparable bond with his three special cousins Shyanna Sanchez, Bradley Middleton, and Hannah Middleton, with whom he shared countless giggles and precious moments of play.
Dino is the beloved grandson of William and Diane Mitchell, and Ruperto Sanchez Ruiz and the late Esperanza Hernandez Rivera. He is also lovingly remembered by his many aunts and uncles, Melanie and Charles Middleton, William and Monica Mitchell, as wells as Julio, Pedro, Ester, Leo, Linda, and Mari. Dino also leaves behind his two half siblings Jarett Sanchez Mancera and Jazlynn Sanchez. He is also survived by many extended family members and friends who will cherish his memory and miss his sweet smile forever.
