HAVERHILL – Angel Hernandez, 30, passed away Saturday, July 11, 2015, in his hometown of Haverhill.
Born to Arilys Fantini and the late Angel Hernandez in January 1985 in New York City, Angel moved to MA with his family and later graduated from Haverhill High. He was happily married to the beautiful Griselin (Ortiz) Hernandez and together they had an amazing son, William, and another son, due to arrive within days, into the loving arms of his family, whom they planned to name Anthony.
Angel had a mission in life and that was to see people smile. He filled every room he walked into with the bright light of his personality and he would leave you laughing every time you were lucky enough to be in his presence. Larger than life while with us, he will become a legend in our memories. Stories will be embellished, facts will be stretched but one thing will remain true; he gave his love to many and it was returned to him fully.
He had no love greater than that which he reserved for his family; grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, he cherished time spent with them all. With Gri he has left his legacy in William and, soon, Anthony. These two children will learn of their father and understand how deeply he loved them and how committed he was to being the best father he could be. Gri was his grounding foundation, his partner, and his true love. His little brother, Alvin, walked in his footsteps through childhood and into manhood. Together they lived, loved and laughed. A support system like no other, the respect and love they had for each other was the very definition of the word “brotherhood.”
He also leaves behind his stepfather Bill Fantini and his mother, Arilys. Bill came into his life while Angel was a young boy and became his “Pops.” A father figure and friend, Bill gave Angel all the love and support any father can give his son.
