David Herrera Obituary
He was born in San Antonio, Texas, on February 17, 1931, to Especiación Herrera and Maria Diaz.
David is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Consuelo Molina Herrera.
He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. David retired from Kelly Air Force Base and proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War.
He had a gift for working with his hands. He enjoyed gardening, loved carpentry, and even built his own home. But his greatest joy was fishing-he never passed up a chance to cast a line.
David also had a warm, effortless sense of humor. He loved making people laugh, and his quick wit and playful personality brought so much joy to his family. Whether he was telling a story, teasing in that gentle way of his, or cracking a joke at just the right moment, he always knew how to bring a smile to the room.

David Herrera Jr - Stella Escalera
Richard Herrera- Anna
Rudy Herrera - Gary Hardcastle
Irma H Ramirez - Ruben
