Jose Jesus Hernandez, 53, passed away on August 23, 2024 at St. Joseph’s hospital surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on November 10, 1970 in Port Hueneme/Oxnard, California to Maria Salazar and Jesus Hernandez. He moved to Tucson around 1985 and in 1988 met the love of his life through his best friend.  He married Veronica Angulo in 1990. Together they share children Joseph, Raymond, Ann-Janette and Matthew and grandchildren Dahlia, Azalea, and Romeo. Jose worked in sales for many years and impacted many lives through his career with his wisdom and sense of humor. He was always dancing, being silly and making people laugh. He enjoyed working on many projects. In his yard he built a chicken coop and was working on a vegetable garden and a tranquility garden. He was also working on restoring a classic suburban and a 1980s traveling van. Jose’s faith in God was very important to him and how he lived his daily life. He would speak of Gods word to anyone who would listen. He loved spending time with his family, especially gathering everyone to watch a movie together.
