Life story

Hi! I’m Owen 🤍 you may know me as Owen The Warrior!

I am the son of Alejandro and Alexa Sanchez, and the best big brother to Olivia and Letty.

I am a brave little warrior. I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus in September of 2024 and soon after, in January 2025, I was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Primary CNS Melanoma. There have only been 15 cases in the world and I was the 11th pediatric case. Even though I am only six years old, I have learned and shown more courage, love, and resilience than anyone ever thought possible.

I love space, Legos, cars, music, Spiderman and being a brother. Even through countless surgeries and cancer treatments, I tried to meet each day with my signature thumbs up, reminding everyone around me that hope can exist even in the hardest moments.

My time on earth may be far too short, but I hope my light continues to shine through the lives I have touched and the love I leave behind.

Forever a little warrior. Forever loved. Forever missed.
