November 22, 1945 — March 27, 2024
Cecilio L. Hernandez, known by many as Don Cecilio/Papa, passed away, at the age of 78, March 27, 2024, at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. Cecilio was born November 22, 1945, in San Miguel Regla, Mexico, to the late Guadalupe and Juana Licona Hernandez.
At 19 years old, Cecilio came to the United States. Ms. Dana, from Dana Corporation, brought him to the states and he worked as her butler. Given the opportunity working for Ms. Dana, allowed him to move on to multiple careers that built his life and made him the independent, hardworking, and grateful man he is today.
He met his wife, Elia, and together they had a daughter, Juana, and shared a beautiful life together.
Cecilio loved going to the Casino, listening to Mexican music, especially Jenni Rivera, and babysitting the family dogs, Papi and Manolo.
Left to cherish his memory are his granddaughter, Carmen Hernandez, who loved him dearly, cared for him and was a best friend; and a great grandson who was named after him, Cruz Cecilio. The many family members and friends left behind will forever miss Cecilio. Cecilio was loved and respected by everyone. Until we meet again…
