Raúl Hurtado Sánchez Jr.

18 de enero de 1972 – 4 de agosto de 2025


Con profundo dolor en nuestros corazones, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro querido Raúl Sánchez Jr. Raúl falleció repentina e inesperadamente el 4 de agosto de 2025, a la temprana edad de 53 años.


Raúl nació el 18 de enero de 1972 en Michoacán, México, hijo de Raúl Sr. y Alicia Sánchez. Creció en Oxnard, California. A la edad de 16 años, conoció a su esposa y el amor de su vida, Hilda Ortiz. Juntos comenzaron una vida de 37 años en la que recibieron con amor a sus hijos: Raúl Sánchez III, nacido en 1997, y Julissa Sánchez, nacida en 1999. Raúl y Hilda criaron a sus hijos inculcándoles el amor, los valores fundamentales y la moral con los que ellos mismos fueron formados. Raúl se aseguró de que sus hijos entendieran el valor del esfuerzo y del trabajo duro; y aunque muchas veces expresaba su amor con firmeza, sus hijos eran su todo. Raúl y Hilda fueron grandes viajeros, pero especialmente disfrutaban vacacionar en su casa en Acuitzeramo, México, una casa que construyeron juntos.


A lo largo de su vida, Raúl logró muchas metas, incluyendo su graduación de la academia de policía en Allan Hancock College y la academia de bomberos. Obtuvo su título como técnico psiquiátrico a una edad muy temprana y disfrutaba conducir su tráiler por muchos estados. Fue egresado del Oxnard College, donde obtuvo su título de asociado, y trabajó como técnico psiquiátrico para el estado de California por más de 20 años. Raúl disfrutaba viajar con su esposa, caminar por las mañanas, cocinar, enseñar lecciones de vida, disfrutar una buena taza de café y escuchar a Los Bukis. Era un coleccionista apasionado de muchas cosas, porque para él, nunca era suficiente.


Raúl será profundamente extrañado y recordado por su familia, sus amigos y por todos aquellos a quienes impactó durante su vida. Sus valores, su influencia perdurable y las enseñanzas que dejó en tantos, vivirán y serán recordadas por siempre. Su legado permanecerá y él vivirá eternamente en nuestros corazones.


Raúl deja atrás a su esposa, Hilda Ortiz; a sus hijos, Raúl Sánchez III y Julissa Sánchez; a su madre, Alicia Sánchez; y a su hermana, Martha Sánchez. Raúl fue precedido en muerte por su padre, Raúl Sánchez Sr.
