Joseph J. Hernandez

Loving son to Jose Juan Hernandez and Domenica Bavaro. Caring brother to Faith, Angelica, and Noah (Samantha). Dear father to Joseph, Lucas, and Luz. Fond grandson of Diana Favia. Dear uncle to Ezekiel, Lillianna, Liam, Mila, Ellie, and Emmy.

Joseph was a once in a lifetime type of individual. We all know the ways of the world and its common characteristics but to know Joseph was a breath of fresh air. He carried ideas, virtues and ways that were unique to him and challenged all forms of thought. Joseph was a free thinking man who lived by the beat of his own drum. Joseph made his way no matter the circumstances and still came out on the other side with a hug and smile for his loved ones. Joseph was the type of person who if he loved you would love you until the end. His love was unconditional but with the conviction of a big brother and eldest son. Joseph’s life was full of obstacles and often times he drew the short end of the stick but God indeed gave the toughest battles for his toughest soldiers and Joseph overcame them. He will always have a chunk of our hearts. His ways and teachings will live within us eternally. Joseph John Hernandez, we love you family. Rest in heaven and when the time comes, meet us at the door and welcome us back home. With unconditional and eternal love. - Your family and friends.
