When I first met Hector I was nervous being told that hes not the smallest guy let alone the girl I'm dating dad, who wouldnt be right but the crazy thing was after shaking that huge hand of his he was so welcoming and cool I liked the guy right away, over the years that I got to know and learn from this man I was able to trust him with anything love him like a father he was the first man to treat me like his own son as he did to a lot of other people that was just who he was. Never have I had anyone teach me to hit a golf ball but this man took me to a golf course just me and him and spent a few hours teaching me he has helped me in so many ways I could never thank him and his wife for all they have done I will always  Cherish the time I've got to have with you if it wasnt for you I wouldnt be where I'm at today! I love and miss you I promise to take care of your daughter and wife no matter what happens R.I.P HECTOR MANUEL ALDECOA

Went to Cooper Jr. High and Fresno High. One of the kindest souls you will ever meet. Got a chance to see him and say hello at our last reunion.  Always smiling. RIP Hector. Prayers to all the Family.

When I think of Hector, like many others, I think of his bright smile and kind eyes and how his kindness carried out in his laughter. And next to him, beautiful Sonia. The perfect couple and family. The way she looked at him is the definition of what love is! I remember when the Rams went to the superbowl. We went to their house since my dad and Hector were big Rams fans. Watching the two of them on the edge of their seats over that game and seeing the bond they had is a memory I will always cherish. Not to mention the ultimate camping experiences we had! I will always see my Aunt Annie's smile and laughter because of these trips and in my memories of Hector. She was their side kick. They were the party! My heart goes out to Sonia and their kids. He touched so many lives and spread the love he had with everyone he met. Love you Hector!

I first met Hector while we practiced for Little League. The coach hit a ball into centerfield it got passed the outfield and kept rolling. Out of the distance stood this young giant ‘Hector”he picked up that ball and threw it from deep centerfield in a straight line hitting are Cather right in the glove. He asked if he could join are team. Hector joined that day we went undefeated and won Palm Shields Champions! I will never forget his distinguished  Laugh. He was a good dear friend.

Eddie and I have so many memories of Hector. Lots of crazy ones! What I want to share is the first thought that came to mind when I was told about his passing. I could see Joe Sr. waiting at the gate for him. Bringing him in to have him arm wrestle all his friends he's made in Heaven. Joe was so proud of how Hector could beat anyone. Hector was an excellent athlete. So many stories. He was a big part of our lives at one time. He's with his dad now.  And with the angels. Our prayers for all his family to stay strong during this very difficult time.

Hector will always be so much a part of my childhood memories and when I think of him the first thing I think about is his smile that just lit up a room and it  showed in his eyes so much!  We spent many years every morning going to school as well as Hector being such a big part of our family!! We will ALWAYS  carry him in our thoughts, memories, and hearts!!  May you RIP HEKY!! That was what I always called him!! Hector was always so devoted to his family and I pray may you all find some comfort in this journey ahead!! I will pray God helps you all to  heal everyday  and have peace in your hearts knowing that nothing was more important than family to Hector!! 

Hector was a big guy with a big personality, sometimes like a big kid.  A good father, a good husband, a good friend.   He was kind, generous, smart, fun, strong, and hilarious.  He treated me like I was part of the family before I even was.  Truly one of a kind.  I lost my dad suddenly last June.  Today is actually his birthday.  My heart is so heavy to learn that another father that was in my life has passed so suddenly and so young.  My sincere condolences, love, hugs, and prayers to all that loved him.  I know how much this hurts.
Love, Tahnae

Hector was so full of life and laughter. He was always the life of the party with his booming laugh and contagious smile. He made friends with literally everyone he met. Anyone around him gravitated to his welcoming, lively energy. That wonderfully energy still lives on through his family and friends. He will never be forgotten. 
We send all of our love to Sonia, Rachel, John-Luke, Abe, Nick, Jake and the rest of his family and friends.
Love, 
Natalie (the princess without a country), Eric, and Nathan Johnson
