Ernesto Hernandez, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025, in Houston, Texas, at the age of 87. Born in El Salvador on January 30, 1938, Ernesto lived a life marked by resilience, generosity, and unwavering devotion to his family and community. He immigrated to the United States in pursuit of opportunity and a better future for his loved ones, settling in Houston where he became a cherished member of the local Salvadoran community. Known for his warm smile, tireless work ethic, and deep wisdom, Ernesto touched the lives of many with his kindness and quiet strength. Ernesto is survived by his children, grandchildren, and extended family, who will forever carry his legacy in their hearts. His memory will live on in the stories shared around the dinner table, the traditions he passed down, and the love he gave so freely. A memorial service will be held to honor Ernesto's life and legacy.
