Frank Hernandez

Frank Hernandez, born on April 21, 1952, in Oceanside, California, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, in Stockton, California, at the age of 73.

Frank was a devoted family man, cherished as a loving husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Known for his quick wit, he was a lovable smartass with a sharp sense of humor that could light up any room and keep everyone laughing. His playful teasing and funny stories were a hallmark of his personality, bringing joy and endless smiles to family and friends alike.

Frank loved life's simple pleasures: savoring a good glass of wine, firing up the grill for lively BBQs with family and friends, heading to the casinos for a bit of excitement and fun, and especially watching his grandchildren play sports-cheering them on from the sidelines with pride and enthusiasm. A die-hard fan, he passionately rooted for the Dallas Cowboys through every season, never missing a chance to watch the games. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him for his warmth, kindness, humor, and unwavering dedication to those he loved.

Frank is survived by his beloved wife, Eleanor Ruth Hernandez; his daughters, Miranda Morales and Raquel Perales; his son, Isaiah Thomas Hernandez; his sisters, Anita Vargas and his niece Carisa Morones; 12 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. He was a pillar of strength, love, and laughter for his entire extended family.

Frank lived a full life filled with hard work, family gatherings, good times, and quiet moments of joy. His legacy of love, resilience, humor, and family devotion-along with his legendary Cowboys fandom-will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to all who offered support during this difficult time. Frank's memory-and his infectious laugh-will forever be a blessing.
