Adan "Donny" Hernandez

Adan Hernandez, known affectionately as Donny to his loved ones, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2026, surrounded by his family, at the age of 65 in Andrews, Texas. Born on March 12, 1960, in Kermit, Texas, Donny's warmth and kindness touched the hearts of all who knew him.

Donny was a proud graduate of Andrews Independent High School, class of 1979. His commitment to his work was exemplified through his long-standing career with Exxon Mobil, where he served as a foreman for 38 years before his well-earned retirement. His work ethic and leadership left an indelible mark on his colleagues.

On January 21, 1984, Donny married the love of his life, Tammie Kinney. Their union was blessed with forty-two years of marriage, three children, and a lifetime of laughter and love. Donny's unwavering support for his family was evident in his constant presence at his children's and grandchildren's sporting and school events. He celebrated every milestone and achievement with the same enthusiasm and pride as if it were his own.

An avid lover of the outdoors, Donny found joy in playing golf and fishing. His favorite fishing trips were those spent in Laredo with his father-in-law, Charlie, where they shared not only the catch of the day but also meaningful conversations and laughter. Music was another passion of Donny's; he appreciated all genres, finding solace and happiness in the melodies and lyrics that filled his home.

Left to cherish Donny's memory are his loving wife, Tammie Hernandez of Andrews; son, Joshua Hernandez and wife Carissa of Andrews; daughters, Brandi Ray and husband Ryan of Mont Belvieu, and Kristina Alaniz and husband Justin of Andrews; brothers, Blas Hernandez, Jr. and wife Helena of Andrews, and Joey Hernandez and wife Kaylynn of Andrews; sister-in-law, Terri Sanders and husband Mark of Spring Branch; grandchildren, Emma, Lane, Finn, Carter, Jackson, Cohen, Elijah, and Brooks; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other loving family members.

Donny is now reunited in eternal peace with his parents, Blas P. Hernandez, Sr., and Senaida "Sandy" Jaquez Hernandez; brother, Adan Hernandez; and in-laws, Charlie Kinney and Maxine Kinney. His legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering support will continue to live on through the lives of those he touched.
