Jose Hernandez was a loving father, Pa, son, brother, Tio, nephew, cousin and friend to many. Jose, the eldest of eleven children, was born on March 25, 1959 in Del Rio, TX to Benjamin and Tabita Ester Hernandez. At the age of 51, he proudly received his GED after choosing to quit school at a young age to help his mother provide for his siblings. He was a dedicated man who spent most of his life working and using his many skills to provide for his family. Jose was filled with love, always had a smile on his face, a smile that was so contagious that it would brighten up anyone’s day. He had a willingness to help others even if it meant putting himself last. He never knew a stranger and would make everybody feel like a somebody.
