Jaime Sandoval

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our father, Jaime Sandoval. Surrounded by his family in his final moments, he left us on July 28, 2024, at the age of 65. After years of fighting, Dad won his battle and now sits at the feet of Jesus.

The youngest of 5 children, Jaime was born in Dinuba, CA on January 3, 1959 to Pedro and Jennie Sandoval.

After joining the Ridgecrest community in 1978, he worked at Channel 3 News, Northrop, Kmart, but is most remembered for his time at Walmart  and  McDonalds, where he was a proud graduate of Hamburger University.

Our dad was a man of immense strength, humor and wisdom, who cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. His passion for his family, fishing, the Shop, the Dodgers and the Green Bay Packers as well as his unwavering spirit will forever be remembered.

He is survived by his 4 daughters; Jessica Krall, Dana Griffin (Jerry), LeAngela Sandoval (Bri), Larena Blanton (Joey), 13 Grandchildren, 6 Great Grandchildren,  and numerous  family and friends who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

He is preceded in death by his wife  Dorothy, his mother,  father and brother Ricardo.

Services will be held at Saint Ann's Catholic Church on August 23, 2024 in Ridgecrest, CA. A rosary will begin at 10:30AM followed by a funeral mass at 11:00.  Graveside service will be held on September 13, 2024 at Smith Mountain Cemetery in Dinuba, CA.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be... so he put his arms around you, And whispered, Come with me. With tearful eye we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, working hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
