Alvaro Hernandez

Alvaro Hernandez, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle, passed away on June 12, 2025, at the age of 69 in San Antonio, Texas. Born on July 15, 1955, in Tiquicheo, Michoacan, Mexico.

Alvaro Hernandez was known for his sharp wit, strong opinions, and unwavering independence. He was a man who lived life entirely on his own terms, never one to mince words or follow the crowd. While his straightforward nature could be challenging at times, it was also a testament to his honesty and authenticity.

His wife, Natividad Cruz, was the love of his life, and together they built a beautiful family. Though he often showed love in unconventional ways, Alvaro's sense of responsibility and resilience left a lasting impression to his children, Dina Arriaga (Alvino), Mayra Hernandez, and the twins, Manuel and Daniel Hernandez. His role as a grandfather was one of his greatest joys, and he doted on his grandchildren, Anicea J. Flores, Alvino A. Arriaga III, Aaron M. Arriaga, Andres L. Arriaga, Adrian E. Sanchez, Aiden Y. Sanchez, and Jordan M. Sanchez. The recent birth of his great-granddaughter, Emily R. Casas, added another layer of happiness to his life.

Alvaro's siblings, Ma. Isabel Martinez, Emelia Martinez, Sofia Martinez, Sergia Arce, and Raymundo Arce, will remember their brother as a pillar of strength and love in their family. His numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members will miss him deeply.

Alvaro's commitment to his family was unwavering, and he worked tirelessly to provide for them and ensure their happiness. His children and grandchildren will carry forward the values of generosity and love that he instilled in them. They will continue to be guided by his wisdom and the precious memories they shared.

As we say farewell to Alvaro Hernandez, we celebrate a life well lived. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
