In Loving Memory of Robbie Lee Hernandez
Nov. 3rd, 1967 - Sept.13th, 2018
On Thursday September 13th, 2018 Robbie Lee Hernandez passed away in Santa Cruz, CA. Robbie was born in San Jose, CA and graduated from Westmont High School. He lived and loved to travel, living at various times in Campbell, CA, Los Gatos CA, Hollywood CA, Suisun, CA, Whitefish, MT, Santa Cruz, CA, San Diego, CA, Costa Rica, and on Oahu, HI. An avid adventurer, music lover, story teller, and crossword puzzle fan, "Slop" or "Party Man" enjoyed anything that stimulated him mentally or challenged him creatively. Slop lived in the now in the most funny, refreshing, carefree and captivating way; being in his presence was vivifying and life affirming, and he had a way to make every moment fun. His heart overflowed with happiness and love for his family and friends; he was as hilarious as he was supportive and present, which made him the most charismatic person. His laser like ability to focus allowed him to excel as a talented snowboarder, surfer, golfer, musician, artist, photographer, motorcyclist, fisherman, gardener, carpenter, and as a loyal and loving friend. He also enjoyed playing pool, being in the hot tub (I'll be in my office!) hosting BBQs, collecting coolers, and thinking of jokes, ribs, and wisecracks to make his family and friends laugh.
Robbie is survived by his wife Lindy Upton Hernandez. He is also survived by his proud and loving parents Karen St. John and Carlos Hernandez, Stepmother Susie Hernandez and preceded in death by his Stepfather Lawrence St. John. Also survived by his loving grandmother Angie Hernandez; by his brothers and sisters Carlos (Denise) Hernandez, LJ (Katreis) St, John, Elena (Jason) Bessette, Rosa Hernandez and Brandi St. John. Robbie will be forever remembered by his numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, extended family, and his friends whom he adored all over the world. His vitality and exuberance will be so greatly missed.

I have a wolf pack of girlfriends that gets together for birthday's and we always venmo a few bucks for a group gift. This year, I'm asking my friends to help my family by donating to celebrate my cousins life. This is the single most important thing I can ask for in honor of my Birthday, the Day of the Dead.

My brother, Robbie, died last week. It was a shocking and devastating loss, and all who knew him are still in disbelief/mourning. Robbie was unlike anyone I've ever known, and I often envied his charisma, laissez-faire attitude, and adventurous spirit.

You were there when Ron Smith and I started spinning in his and Dave Smith's garage. You and I just talked about Auto a week ago. Steve Walker and Chris Walker and all the San Tomas hoops Auto made. When RJ and I got our break at the Red Light and had To name our show...
