Rogelio Hernandez, 77, of Las Vegas, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Feb. 17, 2015, after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was born Aug. 10, 1937, in Mexico City to the late Gregorio and Paula Hernandez. Rogelio worked for A.T.S.A. Construction in Mexico City until 1996, when he decided to pursue the love of his life, Eulalia and move to Las Vegas. He acquired work at Ford Country in the maintenance department and shortly thereafter married his love Eulalia “Lala” Hernandez on May 17, 1997. Rogelio then enjoyed an adventurous second half of his life traveling, dancing, watching boxing and soccer matches. He also loved spending time with his family and friends.
