It is with deep sorrow and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend, Damian Hernandez, who left us far too soon at the age of 17.

Damian was respectful, helpful, full of energy, kindness, and joy. He found happiness playing soccer. Off the field, he loved nothing more than cruising through the neighborhood on his bike, feeling the wind on his face and the freedom of the open road. He especially cherished his Saturdays at his Yaya's house, helping with the house maintenance. His Yaya always said he did a great job and was such a hard worker. Damian had so many
dreams, he would sit with his mom and talk about them. He is going to be deeply missed. There will never be a day we don't think of him. His laughter,
adventurous spirit, and easy smile brought light to everyone around him. Damian is survived by his loving parents, Ernesto and Esperanza, and his sister, Sophia, his Yaya bear, his Tia's and Tio's, his cousins and entire family who will forever cherish the memories t hey shared with him. Their love for Damian is immeasurable, and his absence leaves a hole t hat can never be filled. Though his time with us was brief, Damian touched many lives with his kindness, his playful
spirit, and his big heart. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Rest in peace, sweet Damian. You will forever be 17! We love you.

Con profundo pesar y con el corazón roto, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro amado hijo, hermano, nieto, primo, sobrino y amigo, Damián Hernández, quien nos dejó prematuramente a los 17 años.

Damián era respetuoso, servicial, lleno de energía, bondad y alegría. Encontraba la felicidad jugando al fútbol. Fuera del campo, nada le gustaba más que pasear por el barrio en bicicleta, sintiendo el viento en la cara y la libertad del camino. Apreciaba especialmente los sábados en casa de su Yaya, siempre dispuesto a ayudar con el mantenimiento de la casa. Su Yaya solía decir que hacía un gran trabajo y que era muy trabajador. Damián tenía tantos sueños que se sentaba con su madre a compartirlos todos. Lo extrañaremos profundamente. Nunca habrá un día en que no pensemos en él. Su risa, espíritu aventurero y sonrisa fácil alegraban a todos los que lo rodeaban. A Damián le sobreviven sus queridos padres, Ernesto y Esperanza, su hermana, Sophia, su osita Yaya, sus tías y tíos, sus primos y toda su familia, quienes atesorarán por siempre los recuerdos que compartieron con él. Su amor por Damián es inconmensurable, y su ausencia deja un vacío
que jamás podrá llenarse. Aunque su tiempo con nosotros fue breve, Damián tocó muchas vidas con su amabilidad, espíritu juguetón y gran corazón. Lo extrañaremos profundamente y lo recordaremos por siempre.

Descansa en paz, dulce Damián. ¡Siempre tendrás 17 años Te queremos.
