Abraham Hernandez

Weslaco-

Abraham Hernandez, a devoted husband, beloved father, and proud grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the age of 64. Born on May 13, 1961, Abraham lived a life rooted in hard work, deep love for his family, and a joyful spirit that touched everyone around him.

Abraham was a skilled welder, known not only for his craftsmanship but for a work ethic that was second to none. Dependable and diligent, he rarely missed a day on the job and quickly earned the respect of his colleagues. His reputation extended beyond the workplace, as he formed genuine friendships that stood the test of time. Much of his career was spent at Texana Pickle Producers, where he worked closely with Frank Gonzales Jr.—a trusted supervisor who became a lifelong friend. Later, Abraham joined Johnson Controls Inc. as a forklift operator, where he continued to build meaningful connections and leave a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Abraham took great pride in everything he owned and cared for, especially his home, his yard, and his car. Known for his meticulous nature, he kept his vehicle spotless, whether through regular car washes or professional detailing. The same care was extended to his home and lawn, where he was always working on a new project or perfecting the landscape. He worked hard to earn what he had, and he honored it with the same diligence that defined his character.

Away from work, Abraham was a man of many passions. A loyal fan of both the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, he rarely missed a game. He loved music, especially dancing to cumbias, and was always ready to share a laugh or enjoy a good action movie. He had a special fondness for the Discovery and History channels, often immersing himself in documentaries about Arab culture, reflecting his curious mind and love for learning about the world.

Sundays, Abraham often found himself at flea markets, where he delighted in the thrill of the hunt for hidden treasures and bargains. However, his greatest joy was found in the time spent with his family. Whether hosting backyard cookouts, dancing, or simply sharing stories, Abraham’s sense of humor, warmth, and kindness lit up every gathering. He adored his grandchildren, and his playful, caring nature made him a favorite among them.

Abraham also enjoyed traveling with his beloved wife, Rosalinda, especially during their visits to Monterrey, where they would reconnect with loved ones and explore their family roots.

Of all his accomplishments, Abraham’s greatest legacy was his family. He cherished his wife, daughters, and grandchildren above all else, and his legacy lives on in the love he poured into each of them.

Abraham will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will be treasured not just for the life he lived, but for the love he gave and the joy he brought to so many.

Abraham is preceded in death by his parents, Jesus and Ana Maria Hernandez.

He is survived by his loving wife of twenty-five years, Rosalinda, his daughter, Christina Hernandez (Jose Chapa), Olivia Hernandez (Kristian Chavez), and Laizha Hernandez, his grandchildren, Scarlett Chavez, Lucian Chavez, Santiago Chapa, and Katalina Chavez, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Abraham Hernández, un esposo devoto, padre amoroso y orgulloso abuelo, falleció en paz en su hogar el sábado 21 de junio de 2025, a la edad de 64 años. Nacido el 13 de mayo de 1961, Abraham vivió una vida marcada por el trabajo duro, el profundo amor por su familia y un espíritu alegre que tocó a todos a su alrededor.

Abraham era un soldador hábil, reconocido no solo por su destreza, sino también por su ética de trabajo ejemplar. Responsable y constante, rara vez faltaba al trabajo y rápidamente se ganó el respeto de sus compañeros. Su reputación iba más allá del lugar de trabajo, ya que formó amistades genuinas que perduraron con los años. Gran parte de su carrera la dedicó a Texana Pickle Producers, donde trabajó de cerca con Frank Gonzales Jr., un supervisor de confianza que se convirtió en un amigo de toda la vida. Posteriormente, Abraham se integró a Johnson Controls Inc. como operador de montacargas, donde continuó cultivando amistades significativas y dejando una huella positiva en todos los que lo conocieron.

Abraham sentía un gran orgullo por todo lo que poseía y cuidaba, especialmente su hogar, su patio y su automóvil. Conocido por ser meticuloso, mantenía su vehículo impecable, ya sea con lavados frecuentes o detalles profesionales. Esa misma dedicación la aplicaba a su casa y jardín, siempre trabajando en un nuevo proyecto o perfeccionando el paisaje. Todo lo que tenía lo había ganado con esfuerzo, y lo honraba con la misma disciplina que definía su carácter.

Fuera del trabajo, Abraham tenía muchas pasiones. Fiel aficionado de los Green Bay Packers y los Dallas Cowboys, casi nunca se perdía un partido. Amaba la música, especialmente bailar cumbias, y siempre estaba listo para compartir una risa o disfrutar una buena película de acción. Tenía un cariño especial por los canales Discovery e History, donde se sumergía en documentales sobre la cultura árabe, reflejo de su mente curiosa y su amor por aprender del mundo.

Los domingos, a menudo se le encontraba en los mercados de pulgas, disfrutando la emoción de encontrar tesoros escondidos y buenas ofertas. Sin embargo, su mayor alegría era el tiempo con su familia. Ya fuera organizando parrilladas en el patio, bailando o simplemente compartiendo anécdotas, el humor, la calidez y la bondad de Abraham iluminaban cada reunión. Adoraba a sus nietos, y su naturaleza juguetona y cariñosa lo convertía en el favorito de todos.

Abraham también disfrutaba viajar con su amada esposa, Rosalinda, especialmente durante sus visitas a Monterrey, donde se reconectaban con seres queridos y exploraban sus raíces familiares.

De todos sus logros, el mayor legado de Abraham fue su familia. Amaba profundamente a su esposa, hijas y nietos, y ese amor vive en cada uno de ellos.

Abraham será profundamente extrañado por todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Su memoria será atesorada no solo por la vida que vivió, sino por el amor que dio y la alegría que trajo a tantos.

Abraham fue precedido en muerte por sus padres, Jesús y Ana María Hernández. Le sobreviven su amada esposa de veinticinco años, Rosalinda; sus hijas, Christina Hernández (José Chapa), Olivia Hernández (Kristian Chávez) y Laizha Hernández; sus nietos, Scarlett Chávez, Lucian Chávez, Santiago Chapa y Katalina Chávez; así como numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas.

La velación se llevará a cabo el 25 de junio de 2025, de 12:00 p.m. a 9:00 p.m., con un Santo Rosario a las 7:00 p.m., en McCaleb Funeral Home, ubicado en 900 W. 4th St., Weslaco, TX 78596.
