It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Esmie. Esmeralda Gabrielle Sanchez passed away on February 13, 2021, from a Motor Vehicle Accident. Esmie was born on August 13, 1999, in the city of Blythe, California to parents Carlos Sanchez and Imelda Holbrook.

In time Esmie would gain an additional Mom and Dad, (Jaci Bray Sanchez) and (David Holbrook).

Esmie is survived by her two sisters and three brothers: Elitciya Sanchez, Ivy Holbrook, Carlos Sanchez, Ezekiel Sanchez, and Dagoh Jackson Howell-Patron.

Esmie was loved and cherished by her grandparents Maria Luz Milke, Eulalio Murillo, and Carlos and Linda Sanchez.

Before Esmie's passing she accomplished a lot in her short but adventurous life. She received her High School Diploma from Salome High School. She attended Yavapai College with intentions of becoming a Nurse and worked at Wendy's in Ehrenberg earning money for school. She loved to travel, spend time with family and friends, and binge watch her favorite shows from Netflix and Hulu.

There was one accomplishment that would overshadow all others for Esmie, becoming a Tia for the first time to her nephew "Baby Axel".

Even though they knew better than to enter her room she was deeply loved by her two long life pets Mr. Bobo and Ms. Bayah Boo.

Even though her passing was unexpected and came too soon for those that loved her, she will never be forgotten by those she left behind.

Esmie until we meet again know you will always be in our hearts. Love you "momas".
