Guadalupe (Lupe) Hernandez

Guadalupe Hernandez, a loving and devoted husband, father, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 86.

He was born on September 29, 1939, in Ralls, Texas, to his cherished parents, Feliberto Hernandez and Estefana Gonzalez, who preceded him in death.

Guadalupe will be remembered for his generous heart, kind spirit, and the profound impact he had on everyone who knew him. He was not only a devoted family man, but also a father figure to many, always offering guidance, support, and warmth without hesitation.

A man of many talents, Guadalupe was especially known for his remarkable skill in playing pool. His expertise at the table was unmatched, and even as his health declined, he continued to demonstrate the same natural ability and passion that defined him for decades. He also had a deep love for classic cars, dedicating countless hours to restoring them to pristine condition—each one a reflection of his patience, craftsmanship, and pride.

Guadalupe dedicated over 30 years of service to Kelly Air Force Base, where his strong work ethic and commitment were evident throughout his career.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Mary Lou Hernandez; his daughter, Patty Long; brothers Jose Hernandez, Erasmo Hernandez, Sr., and Santiago Hernandez; he is preceded in death by his brothers Pablo and Daniel Hernandez, as well as sisters Margarita Hernandez, Shawna Hernandez, and Ernestina Hernandez.
