He grew up in LA and during his school years he continued to play sports. His favorite hobby was skateboarding with his cousins. He also enjoyed riding around with his dad while he drove trucks for a living. In 1992 the family moved to Oceanside from LA, Junior was 12 years old. During this time he loved working on the “famous” Cadillac with his dad. Playing catch with his dad was something he really enjoyed, one time he threw the baseball and hit his dad in the eye he didn’t know he wasn’t looking. He went crying to his mom about how bad he felt. Junior was always so caring and lovable person just a sweetheart to everyone. In 1994 his younger brother Anthony was born. Everyone called him Junior’s twin, since they looked so much alike. Throughout the years they grew to be very close even closer when their niece Ruby was born in 2006. He enjoyed cooking and spending time with his family. Junior had a big heart always going out of his way to help those in need, specially his cousin Danny which he loved very much. Junior always enjoyed a good basketball game with his brother Anthony, brother n law Javi and of course dad, Junior was Shaq on the court you couldn’t get by him! He loved to spoil his mommy, cooking dinner every night and keeping the house clean, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her or his niece Ruby. When it came to family parties he was the first one to volunteer at the grill. He will be missed by those he encountered in his lifetime. He may be gone but never forgotten, you will always remain in our hearts for ever. Junior how did you know the Raiders were going to beat the Chargers on 10/10/10?? We all Love you and miss you soooooooo much….. RIP

Juan Jose Hernandez “Jr.” Our beloved Son, Grandson, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, and friend has passed away on 10/10/2010 in Oceanside CA at the age of 31. Junior was born in Los Angeles CA on 01/11/1979 to the proud parents of Juan Jose Sr. and Maria Alberta. He is survived by his two siblings Marlene and Anthony and his adorable niece Ruby. Junior was a very loving, caring, energetic, responsible, and respectful young man who dedicated his time and love to his family. Junior also loved everything about life no matter how it came to him and enjoyed every minute of it. When growing up Junior played baseball and liked skating, but most of all he liked playing tricks on his friends and joke around. Once he was older Junior displayed the gift of being a great chef and being the best host ever. He made everyone feel welcomed any time they would stop by his house. Any person who had the pleasure of meeting Junior, left his presence of knowing that they had made a new true friend. It is with great sorrow to announce the departure of our “Gentle Giant” for we have lost the heart of our family. Junior will be missed tremendously and will live forever in our hearts and thoughts...

Mr. Juan Jose Hernandez Jr.'s final resting place will be Eternal Hills Memorial Park in Oceanside, California..
