We will continue to miss you every day.
I love you mucho, mucho like you always said.

Love always,
Your little girl.

What a great, beautiful, and a huge blessing it was to be the daughter of such a wonderful, loving, and strong man. Pa was a man of unwavering faith. He lived a life guided by his strong faith. His example has been a beacon for us all. He taught us the importance of kindness, integrity, being a hard worker, and more than anything he taught us how to follow Jesus. and not just through words, but through his actions. I got to witness firsthand how God changed his life and how he put God first in everything. When he preached the Word of God, he wouldn't hold back. Pa loved with all he had. He took others under his wings with no questions asked. He showed us what true love was with my mom. The love they had for each other was incredible. They truly had a true-real life love story. There are so many memories I have with Dad where he was making me laugh so much I would nearly cry, especially when he was with all of us. He had a sense of humour that rubbed off on anyone that was near him and he had a light so bright that made him shine. One of my favorite memories will always be when he wanted to go eat at Fudruckers in Midland and he couldn't remember the name of it and told us "let's go eat at Foot Lockers" or when he told us to go shopping at Burgundy which he meant Burlington. Pa had all different names for places and it truly was the best. I remember when he met both of my girls when they were born and both times he told me "now its all about popo's girls" knowing that while they had his whole heart, I was still his little girl. Dad always said "it's not the one that starts the race, but the one that finishes it." Pa, you did it. You made it home. You won your crown. While my heart is heavy and hurts like never before, I know that you are in a much better place, pain free and being a good little boy right next to Jesus lol. Thank you for being the best dad and PoPo in the world. Thank you for teaching us all about Jesus and the importance of love and family.

May the Lord keep you and your family in his hands and that he gives comfort and healing throughout this time. May he give strength when needed and may the Lord be with y'all always. My condolences to you and the rest of your family

I will always remember my brother in laws contagious smile and how much he loved my sister Margie, their children and grandchildren.  Ricky and Margie always  extended their arms and home to anyone that needed help. Me and my son Nick being ones that they helped. I will be forever grateful for the help they gave us whenever we needed it. My brother in law was a hardworking man who provided his wife,  my sister and his children with everything they needed and wanted. He was always  the same person all the time and I never once saw him mad or upset. I still remember  the day that they got married in  the yard of a  trailer house that I lived in. That was the beginning  of their 32-33 year marriage and life together. I am proud to have had him as a  brother in law and I will miss him greatly. He beat us to heaven but hopefully  one day we will see each other again. Love you brother in law Ricky Hernandez .

My Tio Ricky..
You were like the Dad that I didn’t get to have growing up. I will never forget the love you showed me. You were the prime example of what a Father & Husband should be. Thank you for all the Lake days out on the boat & jet skis, thank you for the laughs, the camping trips, the talks, the love & support you showed me, for loving my Tia the way that you did. and most of all, thank you for instilling GOD in me. For not only talking “GOD” but always showing me “GOD” you were a man of action and not just words. I will miss you deeply. But my heart rejoices knowing you’re where you always wanted to be and what you always talked about down here on earth. You’re with the father. ..You won 🏆 
                -With Love Always, Your Niece Erica
