Jesus was born on December 24, 1924 to Angelo and Paula Hernandez in Dallas Texas. He grew up in Indiana and moved to Chicago for work where he met and later married Catherine Murillo on November 21, 1943. They built a loving home together where their five children were raised. Jesus enjoyed camping and fishing in his spare time as well as long walks after dinner and going to the movies. We will cherish all the happy memories we each personally shared with him, and he will live on through our stories. He is forever loved.
