4 months this week...I found this #tbt of us and smiled thinking about our unplanned color coordination😊 You’re gone but NEVER forgotten Tio Mingo🙏🏽💝🦋 Love you 4ever💖

I don’t know how or when you decided that it was ok to deal with today but cannot Thank You enough for teaching us that strength comes by dealing with the pain. Learning to “embrace the suck” that life brings certainly isn’t fun, but lord the perspective it brings me when I think of you papi. Walking straight through it all and facing it things head on as rough as it may seem I know that there is glory at the end of it all. I know you are watching us- we are watching you too. Love you and thinking of you ❤️ Your bruja 

3 months today since you’ve been gone....missing you Tio during this holiday season most especially 🌹🥀💝💖

Thinking of you Tio Mingo💝❤️ Love you

Hi Tio, I found this beautiful picture of you and your amorcito (your love was made in heaven you once told me remember?!?!😊) while I have been “spring cleaning” at my home this week and wanted to share it with you. I took this picture of you guys when we went to a restaurant where they would do the Brazilian Carnaval shows along with dinner in Pompano celebrating Lory and Arturo’s birthdays. I love this pic of you and Anita❣️ It captures your love so beautifully! Happy Friday Tio. Missing you.

Hi Tio Mingo i’m thinking of you especially during the course of these days because of this storm we just had with SO MUCH rain and wind. We were almost able to swim across the streets and parking lots. I NEVER saw it this bad in the 24 years since we moved to FL Tio Mingo!!  And of course I thought of you because of the rain and remembering how Andy said how much you loved it. This was a LOT of blessings you were sending us uncle (Haha we got them!Thank you!) Anyway I love you and miss you so much. I look at your picture on my counter everyday and give it a kiss. I hope you’re enjoying heaven. We are going to be missing you SO MUCH this holiday season but i will pray for strength for all of us. Love you forever, your niece. 

Hey papi!
Thinking about you and the way you always looked for a way to laugh even in the craziest of times. You always seek out God's light and positivity in these moments. Thank you for all this insane rain coming our way, I know its like little droplets of love you are having God send to remind us all that you are still here with us. 
Love you.

You know Six you epitomized what it means to be awesome, that word will always be a reminder to me of who you are. You truly are  a rare breed and i will cherish all the advise and laughter that you implanted in my life. No empty words here Six you know i keep it all the way real, in such a short time in my life your impact was massive  so believe it when I say you can never be replaced. Sleep well Six

I worked in the library with Sixto. Right away I got a fatherly feeling with Sixto.  I worked my first couple of weeks close to him, he gave me advise and tools that I needed to do my job, showing his kind heart.  The cliche thing to say is that he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, in Sixto's case this was absolutely true.  I wanted to share this dream I had the night before his funeral mass, I normally don't dream very vividly so this was special, I was sitting with Sixto on a stool, he looked young and healthy, smiling, we were talking I can't remember about what but I remember I asked him about my mother who passed this past March, and he gave such a sorrowful look of caring.  I will always remember Sixto's smile and his unique laugh, which was anytime that he was around, always laughing, making any situation light.  He truly saw the lighter side of life.  We'll miss you hermano, que descanses en paz Sixto.

You are a father to me & my kids. You are everything to us, we will forever keep you in our hearts! I’ll forever be right next to the family in everything I promise! 

Besides his smile and soft spoken humor, we are going to miss Sixto's ability to problem solve computer problems.    Gonna miss you buddy! 

I had many pleasant memories of Sixto whenever he came to the library that I manage. He was always easy going, focused on providing great service/assistance, and most of all...great to joke around with. Wishing the family my deepest condolences.

It's hard to share a memory of Sixto... due to every memory I have had with him has been enjoyable. He was a great guy who always talked about his family, humble, jokester, outgoing personality and always kept a smile on his face when he walked into a room. He will definitely be missed. I'm sending thoughts of peace and courage your way to get through this difficult time.   (co-worker)

Sixto was an affable person to work with, he always had a smile for everyone. He would go above and beyond what was asked of him.  He always spoke of his grandchildren with a smile on his face; they brought him great joy.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.  

I have known Sixto for the past 5 years since working at the Tyrone Bryant Library. He was always a joy to be around and so helpful for us. Whenever I would put a ticket in, I know when he would come, and he would make everything better. Even if I asked for something extra on our ticket, he would go the extra mile to help us out. He will be remembered for his kindness and jovial spirit. 

I would like to give my most sincere condolences to his family.   I was Sixto's co-worker, but worked in a different department.  Consequently our interactions were limited.  However, when we did interact he was always very professional, well-spoken, gracious and personable.  Unlike some who work in the IT field, he was never condescending and although he was always busy he was very generous with his time.

I have travelled extensively to Colombia and his native Dominican Republic.  We discussed the similarities between his country of birth and mine, Cuba.  He also told me of a new Colombian addition to the family, that had him visiting that country and I shared my experiences travelling to Medellin.

Above all what I gathered most from my conversations with Sixto was his love for his family.  His  demeanor and the look in his eyes when discussing his children and grandchildren visibly illustrated his pride and love for them.  My prayers are with his family during this time of deep sorrow.

I met Sixto over a decade ago while working at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL.   At the Broward County Library Sixto was the best person I ever met working in the field of IT because he was always Smiling at everything about his job involving hardare and software and us clumsy librarians always asking him for help.  He loved his job and was a people person, a unique person.  I thank the family for allowing us to be his friend.


My deepest sympathies to the Hernandez family.  Sixto was pure sunshine! His smile, his love for his family and spending time with them. His heart was genuine, his faith unshakable.  I was truly grateful for his friendship and his kind words.  May your happiest memories over time, outweigh your loss and sorrow.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Sixto was a very wonderful man always with a smile on his face. He will be missed a lot. . Rest In Peace. Patti Nieves

My heart goes out to you on the loss of your beloved Sixto. For seven years I had the privilege and the pleasure to work at West Regional Library with Sixto, and there were many times when I was threatening to throw my computer out the window that he talked me out of it and instead solved the problem for me.  Not only was Sixto extremely helpful;  he was one of the kindest and most patient people I had  the opportunity to work with.  Godspeed ,  Sixto;  you will be missed. 

 Family, my sincere condolences. I am sorry for your lost.  Where do I start with Sixto's smile, patience, friendliness, always kind words, neat dress, helpfulness, responsiveness, cooperation, collaboration  - sharing his knowledge about things with me and others. In the computer lab at the West, his greeting to me was most times, "What are you tearing up today"? I am sad but now you are in heaven with God helping us make better connections.  We will miss you. Again thanks for everything. 

It’s with a heavy heart I express my condolences to Sixto’s family and loved ones. 

I first met Sixto 13 years ago when I started working for BCL. As long as I’ve known him, I’ve always appreciated how he had such patience and made the time to help me with my technologically challenged self. 

He was a man of faith, positive attitude and kind. He always spoke so fondly of his family and he will be  missed by everyone. 

I worked with Sixto at Broward County Library for many years. He was a very nice gentleman. Please accept my condolences.

Sixto always had a smile, a joke and always spoke about the love for  his family 

He will be missed 

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Sixto.  We worked together for years at West a Regional Library.  He was such a kind, calm man and so knowledgeable.  I could always count on him to right whatever was wrong.  He was a very good man.
