The Bakersfield Californian 
Victor Hernandez
1/17/1954 10/7/2004

Recitation of the Rosary will be held Monday evening, October 11, at 7:00 p.m. 
in Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Chapel, 2739 Panama Ln. & Hwy. 99, and Mass of 
Christian Burial will be held at St. Francis Church, 900 H Street on Tuesday 
morning, October 12, at 10:00 a.m. 

Born January 17, 1954 in Sacramento, CA to Lydia and the late Jose S. 
Hernandez. Victor is survived by his loving wife, Lucy Arevalo Hernandez of 11 
years; son, Tollan and daughter, Anysia. Victor had 4 brothers and 2 sisters, 
Joseph, Esperanza, David, Andres, Socorra, and Jesus, along with many nieces, 
nephews, in-laws and godchildren.

As an athletic youth, Victor was active in artistic roller skating winning 
many awards at local and state competitions and was a national contender for 
many years. He eventually turned professional and passed his skills on through 
teaching. He was selected by the United States Amateur Confederation to 
further his sport at the International level by presenting Artistic Skating 
throughout South America.

Victors dream job was running his own roller rink in Porterville, CA where he 
trained and played with some of the best roller hockey players in the nation. 
Some of whom he befriended in South America encouraging them to come to the 
U.S. to play on his many successful teams. His rink in Porterville is where he 
would meet his future wife, Lucy.

As he began his family, Victor still wanted to teach and share his 
philosophies with youth as he placed a high value on nurturing and mentoring 
adolescents from troubled environments. He eventually earned his teaching 
credentials while also earning a Black Belt in Judo, a sport introduced to him 
by family mentor and Sacramento instructor, Al Ikemoto. He was a substitute 
instructor at East Bakersfield High and recently began his first full-time 
position with Arvin High School enjoying every second of classroom teaching 
and working with youth.

Victors latest endeavors focused on his true love, his family, attempting to 
spend more time raising his children with his wife, Lucy. His charismatic 
personality, wit, and caring heart will be missed by countless friends and 
especially his family who have been blessed by his presence for a time that 
was far too short for all of us who knew him.

Remembrances can be sent to a trust fund established for his childrens 
education, in care of Bank of America, P.O. Box 11506, Bakersfield, CA 93389, 
Account #2556701573.

Viewing will be on Monday, October 11, beginning at 2:00 p.m.
