Adam Hernandez

Adam Hernandez, 95, stepped into the loving arms of Jesus on March 7, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable stories. A proud Bowie Bear, Class of 1948, and White Sands Missile Range electronic technician for 32 years, he carried his El Paso roots with pride.

Adam’s faith was one of the foundations of his life as he was a devoted Catholic and longtime member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. But beyond faith, it was his warmth, quick wit, and nicknames he gave his loved ones that made him truly special.

His greatest love was his wife of 71 years, Linda, who passed just a month before him. Now, they are together again. He is survived by his children: Terry, Alice, Albert (Lola), Adam Jr. (Gina), and Victor (Norma) Hernandez; his grandchildren: Liza, Victor Jr. (Cristy), Bryan (Daniela) Hernandez; Michael, Valerie, and Danielle Hernandez; Tialana (Dacotah) Watts, and Shania Hernandez; and his great-grandchildren: Haylee, Kaytlynn, Andruw Hernandez; Matthew, Luke, and Emma Watts; and Auriah Hernandez, who called him “Double G.”

Adam is preceded in death by his wife, parents, and six siblings. He leaves behind a legacy of love, humor, and a lifetime of stories. His kindness and humor will be greatly missed, but his spirit lives on in every nickname, every joke, and every heart he touched.
