Brian Hernandez Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cascade Memorial – Bellevue from Apr. 5 to Apr. 6, 2022.
Brian Matthew Hernandez passed away in Seattle, WA on March 26, 2022 at the age of 31.

A beloved son, sibling, spouse, uncle and friend, Brian was born to Robby and Carina in the Philippines on September 29, 1990. Ever since, Brian brightened the world with his smile, and his laughter filled the air with joyful chorus.

After graduating third in his class at Eagle Pass HS, Brian attended the University of Dallas and graduated with Cum Laude honors, as well as singing in the acapella group Novis and serving as a mentor for UTD Dallas Community Engagement, where he helped high school students prepare for college. While in school at UTD, Brian met his spouse, Paul. Together, their adventures took them (and their two wonderful cats) across the country, from Dallas/Plano to Atlanta, and then to Seattle.

Everywhere Brian went, he lifted people up, making friends and adding a spark to every life that was lucky enough to have him in it. Brian was a talented singer and piccolo/flute player, an amazing listener and a skilled video gamer who knew how to crack a joke, all while always spreading positive vibes and making sure that those around him had a genuine smile. Brian thrived when building others up.

He is survived by his spouse Paul, parents Robby and Carina, siblings Michael, April, Aysha, Aaron and Andrew, and grandmother Monsy, as well as numerous in-laws, three nieces and five nephews who adored "Tito Brian" - and the two wonderful cats, Allie and Beau.

A memorial celebrating Brian's life will be held in Dallas, TX on a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to help with memorial costs can be made on Venmo: @April-Richey or CashApp: $AprilRichey

We will miss Brian dearly, and surely anyone with the good fortune to meet him will feel the same.
