Richard (Rick) Hernandez Jr. unexpectedly passed away on October 10th, 2021. He is survived by his wife Helen; Son, Richard III (Ivy); Daughter, Sarah; Mother, Alice; Brother, Peter (Adaline); Sisters, Deborah (Steve), and Linda. He will be missed greatly by his in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his Father, Richard and Sister, Sharon.
Rick was a mechanic. He started his mechanic journey at the young age of 8; when he built his first car. He taught himself how to fix just about anything. He was a jack of all trades. He was an avid moviegoer, coffee lover, golfer and he loved football Sundays tailgating with his family. He was a person who could make a friend anywhere he went. A person who loved to laugh and share stories. Most importantly, a person who you could count on to be there for you.
He was born in Arizona and grew up in South Phoenix. Rick and Helen recently celebrated their 33rd anniversary this past September. He was a loving husband and devoted father. He did everything he could to help his children succeed and support them. His booming laugh will be missed echoing through the house. His unexpected passing has left many heartbroken. However, the many beautiful memories we have will never leave us.
Services will be held on October 28th; 10 am at Greenwood Memory Lawn Serenity Chapel, 719 N 27th Ave or 2300 W Van Buren, Phoenix, Arizona 85009.
