Oscar Raul Hernandez Jr. or “Junior” as most of the family called him will always be remembered as a loving, son, father, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson, boyfriend and friend. He was a very upfront and sincere person that will always be in our hearts and in all the memories we shared. His smile was everything, with his smile you could truly see how happy he was. Oscar was a very hard worker, persevered to get where he was, and took pride in everything he did. He was the best father anyone could ask for. He always made sure he was able to bring a smile to his children’s faces. He always talked about his family, expressing it was his greatest accomplishment. No matter what the struggle, Oscar kept going. He did everything he could to make sure his family was taken care of.

Oscar always stood strong, but his eyes revealed that loving and sensitive person he was. His girlfriend and children saw him as their protector.

Oscar's life is not lost nor is it over. Consider this the beginning of an everlasting love and bond between him and his family, not the end. He will ensure we are all cared for. His love and soul will always be near and when you need him, talk to him, you can be confident that he will be there.

We have gained an angel to walk beside us on earth. A piece of heaven is now with us all, made of pure love. Let's cherish the honor to have been part of his life.

Thank you God for allowing us to have been part of Oscar R. Hernandez Jr.'s life.
