Allans Franklyn Hernandez Diaz, born on May 7, 1980, in San Miguel, El Salvador, left this world on October 1, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky. Throughout his forty-five years, Franklyn was a beloved family man, devoted friend, and a cornerstone of his community, living life with an infectious joy that inspired everyone around him.
From a young age, Franklyn was known for his remarkable talents and his deep love for music. At just 16 years old, he moved to New York, where he attended North Great Neck High School. His commitment to serving others led him to become a firefighter, embodying the spirit of community. Known as DJ Flow "El Travieso," Franklyn brought joy to the local club scene in Long Island, El Salvador, and Lexington, creating unforgettable memories on dance floors across the region. His passion for music was matched only by his dedication as a construction and remodeling foreman in Kentucky and neighboring states. Franklyn earned the admiration of his peers for his strong work ethic and leadership, enhancing every project with his unique creativity and precision.
As a loving husband and father, Franklyn’s greatest joy stemmed from ensuring the happiness and well-being of his family. He is deeply missed by his devoted wife, Nayelly Hernandez, and lovingly remembered by his cherished children—Benjamin, Jose, Mia, Ashley, Allans Jr, Eli, Bianca, and Liam. His charm and sense of humor brought profound joy to their lives, serving as a source of strength and comfort to his parents, Jose Odilio and Orbelina Hernandez. Franklyn is also survived by his beloved siblings, Marta, Mauricio, Douglas, Larisch, and Rainer Hernandez, who will forever treasure their precious moments together as a family. He leaves behind his nephew and nieces—Brandon, Aliza, Karen, Gabby, and Hally—who will fondly remember his love of music and the joy he brought to every family gathering.
Franklyn embodied love and laughter. His warm, ever-present smile and innate ability to uplift spirits made him the heart of every gathering. He was the life of the party, dedicated to spreading happiness and nurturing friendships wherever he went. His zest for life was contagious, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Though Franklyn is no longer with us, his legacy of humor, love, and the melodies that filled his life will continue to resonate in the hearts of those he touched. His radiant spirit, unyielding passion for life, and the boundless love he shared will remain etched in our memories forever.
