With broken hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Albert Lee Hernandez, who left this world far too soon on May 28, 2025, at the age of 43. A devoted husband, loving father, cherished brother, and beloved son to Jose and Ellen Sanchez. Albert lived a life full of heart, strength, and unwavering love for his family. Born on August 5, 1981, Albert was the kind of man who made an unforgettable impact on everyone who knew him. His presence was strong, his laughter was contagious, and his love for his family knew no limits. He was a man who didn’t just talk about love he lived it, especially when it came to his children: Damion, Constance, and Hailee Hernandez. They were his world, his pride, and his greatest joy. There was never a day when he didn’t talk about how much he loved them. Albert was a loyal soul with a big heart. He found joy in the simple moments of family gatherings, outdoor adventures, and making memories that would last a lifetime. He was happiest with his loved ones nearby, whether they were camping under the stars, casting a fishing line, watching football or basketball, or just sitting around talking. He also enjoyed a good game of chance and the thrill of gambling, always with that same spark of life in his eyes.
Albert is now reunited in heaven with his beloved brother, Daniel Sanchez. He leaves behind his loving wife, Michele Maldonado, and his children Damion, Constance, and Hailee Hernandez who will carry his love with them forever, his step-daughters, Desiree Maldonado, Saniah Simpson, step-grandchildren Auttumn and Aubrey Williams, he is also survived by his siblings Debbie Villatoro, Dail Sanchez, Gail Salazar, and John Hernandez, all of whom will forever cherish his memory. Albert loved strong, lived boldly, and gave his whole heart to the people he cared about. His legacy is one of love, laughter, and loyalty. Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we find comfort in knowing he is at peace and that his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us.
