David Hernandez Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Tabor Funeral Home and Cremation Services - Brighton on Feb. 5, 2026.
David Hernandez, 54, was born on November 27, 1971, in Denver, Colorado, and passed away on January 26, 2026.

David was the beloved son of Juanita Sena and Richard (Dick) Hernandez and was preceded in death by his brother, Michael Casias. He is survived by his siblings Judy Ulibarri, Richard Ulibarri, Cathy Hernandez, and Richard Hernandez, who will forever carry his memory with them.

David was a car guy through and through. He had a true passion for working in car audio and found happiness in everything automotive. Whether he was installing sound systems or talking cars, it was where he felt most himself. Those who knew David knew how much pride he took in his work and how naturally that passion showed.

He was a loving husband to Suzanne Hernandez and was a devoted father to his daughter, Malia Hernandez, a proud father-in-law to Cole Farber, and a doting grandfather to his granddaughter, Luna Hernandez, who brought light and joy into his life. His love for his family was steady, constant, and unmistakable.

David will be remembered for his passions, his presence, and the love he had for those closest to him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
