Pedro Hernandez

Pedro Hernandez Jr., 52, passed away on February 1, 2026, in Muncie, Indiana. Born on February 23, 1973, in the same city he called home throughout his life, Pedro was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose presence brought warmth and wisdom to those around him.

A proud Marine, Pedro served his country with honor and dedication. His commitment to service extended far beyond his military years—he was known for his generous spirit and unwavering willingness to help others. Whether offering a listening ear or sharing thoughtful advice, Pedro had a way of making people feel seen and supported.

Family was at the heart of everything Pedro did. He cherished every moment spent with his daughter Kassandra and his beloved grandchildren. His love for them was evident in the time he devoted to their lives and the joy he found in simply being with them. He also shared close bonds with his siblings��sisters Rebecca (niece Savvy)and Christina, and brothers Buddy(Rakeshia)and Juan—along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins who were part of his extended family circle.

Pedro had a kind heart and a deep appreciation for life's quiet wonders. He found peace in stargazing, often spending evenings looking up at the night sky in awe. He also enjoyed watching movies, finding comfort in stories that brought people together. These simple pleasures reflected his thoughtful nature and love for meaningful moments.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Petra Hernandez, and father, Pedro Hernandez.

Pedro's legacy is one of love, strength, and compassion—a man who lived fully through connection with others and left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to shine as brightly as the stars he loved to watch. A Service will be held on February 7, 2026, from 02:00 PM to 04:30 PM at Glad tidings student ministries building 3001 S Burlington Dr. Visitation will be from 2-3. Service starts at 3.
