Trinidad E. Sandoval

On March 29, 2018 beloved husband, father and grandpa, Trinidad E. Sandoval, went to be with the Lord, at the age of 77, after battling cancer. Trinidad was born in Apatzingan Michoacan, Mexico on June 17, 1940. He came to California in 1972 and worked at L.E. Cooke Co. for 23 years. He then began working for Cal-Western Nursery for 10 years. His passion for planting, grafting, and growing plants continued long after his retirement. He loved to spend time with his family and always wanted to make sure everyone felt welcomed. He had a great sense of humor and had a smile that could light up a room. Most importantly his love for the Lord was eternal. Trinidad is survived by his wife of 45 years, Mary L. Sandoval of Farmersville; his two daughters, Guillermina Andres (David) and Sally Freeman; his three sons, Gonzalo, Arturo (Lupe) and Victor (Lisa); his 20 grandchildren, David, Patrick, Mark, Byron, Brandon, Marissa, Danny, Esmeralda, Priscilla, Alex, Arturo Jr., Lucy, Michael, Bianca, Ethan, Savannah, Nathan, Ricardo, Vanessa and Yvonne. He is also survived by his 3 sisters, Josefina, Teresa and Tonita of Michoacan Mexico; brother-in-law, Victor Garza of Corpus Christi, TX; brother and sister-in law John and Carrie Quiroz, of Farmersville; 15 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers Librado and David; brother-in-law Al Callejo; son, Richardo and grandchildren, Edward and Steven. We are going to miss him every day but we know that he is up with the Lord rejoicing and that brings joy to our hearts. A special "Thank You" to Dr. Chris Rodarte for always being there for dad no matter the time or day, you never left his side and we appreciate you. Also, to Dr. Havard for your compassion. The Rosary will be prayed at 1:00 PM Friday, April 6th, 2018 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 608 N. Church Street, Visalia, CA with a Mass of Christian Burial immediately following.
