He was preceded in death by his parents, Eutimio, Jr. and Alicia Briseño Hernandez, his son-in-law, Scott Aaron, and his daughter-in-law, Emily Terrinoni.
Timo was born in Brownsville, Texas on October 19, 1950. He graduated from Brownsville High School in 1968 and went on to play football at Monterey Tech for the Borregos. He often joked that college expanded his vocabulary, teaching him words like “scholastic” and “probation”.
He served his country in the National Guard from 1969 until 1975.
After entertaining a plethora of entrepreneurial endeavors in the fitness, hospitality, and automotive industries, Timo carved his biggest professional niche in wrecker sales.
In his career as a sole proprietor, he was cunning, resourceful, and resilient.
It’s easy to attribute his professional success to his sales acumen, but his true gift was his ability to be a bi-lingual expert in his field and a resource to anybody that needed help.
For many friends, family, and total strangers alike, Timo was a catalog of one-liners, anecdotes, and tactical wisdom made flesh. He was a gifted musician, the
life of the party, and a steadfast advisor for those who knew him.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife Alejandra, who made him the luckiest man alive in many ways for over 49 years. He is also survived by his daughter Glenda (and Neil) McLean of Helotes, Texas, his son, Timo Hernandez IV of San Antonio, and four grandchildren, Taylor, Josh, Mackenzie, and Fiona. He is also survived by his sisters Dolores Anastas, Petra (and Robert) Myrick, and his brother, Dr. Emilio (and Dalia) Hernandez, his uncle and aunt, Eddie and Josie Hernandez, numerous cousins, nephews, and nieces.
Please join us at 700 Silver Springs Helotes, TX 78023 on Saturday, May 13th, 2023 at 2pm as we honor and celebrate the memory of a man who lived much of his life on his own terms, to a degree which few men ever know.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the St. Joseph Academy Endowment Fund in Brownsville, TX, or the Texas Military Institute Alumni Association Scholarship Fund in San Antonio in his name.
