Jessica Marie Sanchez

Above all else, Jessica was a loving and devoted mother to her four-year-old son, Noel Alvarez, Jr. He was her greatest joy, and everything she did was for him. Her love for him was fierce, unwavering, and endless.

Jessica was deeply connected to her family. She was a daughter, sister, twin, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. The bond she shared with her twin sister, Jaquelin Sanchez, was something truly special, they often finished each other’s sentences, dressed alike without planning, and spoke to each other several times a day.

She is survived by her beloved son, Noel Alvarez, Jr.; her mother and stepfather, Lorena and Josh Keen; her father, Jeffrey Sanchez; her siblings Jeffrey Sanchez, Jr., Jaquelin Sanchez, Rylee Keen, Parker Keen, and Jason Sanchez; and her grandmother, Elba Sanchez.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Diana A. Adrianza, Juan Luis Fernandez, and Monserrate “Joe” Sanchez.

Jessica proudly served as an EMT for Lee County Public Safety, dedicating herself to helping others during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. She was known for her compassion, strength, and the care she brought to her work.

Outside of her profession, Jessica embraced life with energy and warmth. She loved being outdoors, especially near the water. Whether she was boating, fishing, jetskiing, or simply enjoying the beach, the water was her happy place. She also had a deep passion for fitness and working out, always pushing herself and inspiring others with her strength and determination. She was a warrior through and through.

Her smile could light up a room, and her presence made people feel seen, supported, and loved. Her family says it best: she made every day lighter and every life fuller. She was hardworking, vibrant, and full of heart, someone who gave more than she ever asked for in return.

A private service in honor of Jessica will take place under the direction of Hodges Life Celebration Center in Bonita Springs, Florida.

Jessica’s time with us was far too short, but her love, her laughter, and her light will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, and most of all, in the life of her beloved son, Noel Alvarez, Jr.
