Mr. Sanchez passed away on January 20, 2026.
Born in Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico on March 15, 1964, Nicolas was the son of Alfonso Cantero Ambrocio and the late Sofia Sanchez Vasquez. He was a jack of all trades and could fix anything, and especially enjoyed working on old cars. Nicolas was a self-employed welder and mechanic. He enjoyed listening to music and playing guitar, but more than anything, he loved spending time with his family and grandchildren.
Survivors in addition to his father, include his wife Teresa Trejo of the home, sons Leo Cantero (Marta Rodriguez) and Geovanni Cantero, daughters Jazmin Cantero (Luis DeLira) of Demorest, Teresa Cantero (Miguel Lara) and Elizabeth Cantero (Francisco Salazar), brothers Placido, Constantio, Alfonso, and Trinidad Cantero, sisters Bernandina, Gregoria, Marcelina and Aurelia Cantero, and grandchildren Ashly, Angel, Alexander and Adam Cantero, Abigail Cantero, Jonah Edmonds, Mila Cantero, Layla DeLira, and Kendrick DeLira, Xavier and Mia Raya, Isaiah Lara-Cantero, and Fransisco and Christian Salazar.
