Rene H. Hernandez of Lubbock, TX passed away peacefully in his home on June 19, 2025. He was born on November 2, 1964 in Gary, Indiana to parents Ben and Frances Hernandez who preceded him in death. 

Rene was a loving father to his only daughter Elena Hernandez and grandfather “Olo” to Henry Jackson. Anyone who knew Rene will always remember him by his love of guitars, music, his red 1957 Chevy and his incredible artwork, that also inspired his daughter to become an amazing artist.
