In Loving Memory

Ignacio Hernandez

April 22, 1954 - November 12, 2025


Ignacio Hernandez, born April 22, 1954, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025, at the age of 71. Ignacio was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He is proceeded in death by his beloved wife Guadalupe Kristine (Kris) Hernandez, and by his parents Jose O. and Josefina A. Hernandez. Left to cherish his memory are his three children; Denise Kristine Hernandez, Estevan Ignacio (Steve) Hernandez, and Amanda Lee Hernandez. Seven grandchildren; Avery Lorraine Valencia, Aiden Camillo Valencia, Layla Cristina Valencia, Lilly Juliana Pena, Jaxsyn Kristine Hernandez, Angello Lee Williams and Jaylen P. Daniels. Great Grandson Andres Cesar Varela. Siblings Carmen Campos, Lucy Landeros, Teresa Hernandez, Jose Luis Hernandez and Tony Hernandez. Numerous nieces and nephews that loved him very much.

Ignacio was retired from Phelps Dodge Copper Refinery after 38 years. He loved hard and played hard. No one could ever doubt the love he had for his children, grandchildren and all of his siblings, nieces and nephews. He constantly worried for others, even as he struggled with his own health issues. He loved spending time at the casino, as well as with his community of lifelong friends. He was an ACTS Brother having lived his retreat in 2018 and a graduate of Bel Air High School in 1972.

He will be incredibly missed. His unsolicited advice, his crude jokes, his side eye glances when being made fun of, and his popular “F” bombs to make just about every other sentence that much more colorful. But most of all, we that knew and loved him, will miss his huge smile.

We ask for prayers for the eternal repose of his soul and for the consolation of his family and friends that are mourning his incredible loss. May he be reunited with all of his loved ones in paradise. “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN”


Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

In Loving Memory. Lorenzo Nava Lorenzo Nava, born April 25, 1944, in El Paso, Texas, passed away on November 14, 2025. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother, Lorenzo lived a life marked by hard work, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to God and to those he loved. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Bethel Nava, lovingly known as Shirley, with whom he shared many years of companionship, laughter, and music. He leaves behind his sons, David & Sylvia Nava and Gilbert & Brenda Nava, who will forever carry with them the lessons, strength, and example he set. Lorenzo was also the proud grandfather of Sophia and Andrea, who brought joy and pride into his life. Lorenzo is also survived by his two sisters, Martina Yarbrough and Maria Girven, who will cherish the memories of their brother’s steady presence, generous spirit, and quiet wisdom, his step daughter, Audrey Sabaitis along with her son Terry Johnston and her nephew David Wanser. A proud veteran, Lorenzo served his country in the United States Navy, stationed on the USS Oklahoma. After completing his service, he dedicated 23 years to ASARCO, where he worked with the same reliability and skill that defined every part of his life. Lorenzo was a man with a rare gift: he could fix anything. His craftsmanship extended far beyond repairs—he built his own home, creating with his own hands the place where memories were made and love lived. He enjoyed visiting casinos, playing pool, and, in his younger days, dancing with a light-hearted energy that family and friends fondly remember. In the quiet moments of his later years, Lorenzo found joy in listening to fiesta Mexican music with Mary, sharing a simple but profound connection through the songs they loved. Lorenzo will be remembered for his steady strength, his resourcefulness, and the warmth he shared with everyone who knew him. His legacy lives on in the home he built, the family he raised, and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
