Antonio "Tony" Hernandez, 70, a lifelong resident of Aurora, passed away, June 3, 2021 in Chicago. He was born on April 19, 1951 in Waxahachie, Texas, the son of Leonidez and Edelfa Hernandez.
He proudly served our country in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He enjoyed walking along the Fox River, looking for hawks and other wildlife and listening to classic rock music. In the later years of his life he came to know how much he was loved by our Creator and near the end of his earthly life he trusted in Jesus as his Savior. Tony was loved by the Warehouse Church family for many years.
