There are so many ways to describe Hector. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend. He was a man with a strong Faith in God, and a generous, loyal, helpful and kind heart. He was full of energy, was a risk-taker, and loved adventures. Though he was humble and honest, he was also fiercely independent and an achiever of many goals. He loved to travel, hiking, reading, and spending time with his family and friends. His passing has broken our hearts, but his memory will live on with us.
Hector is survived by his partner Marian Turner, mother Tiburcia Banda, and sisters Elvira (Robert) Ruiz, Olga Banda, and Irene Banda, and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Alberto Banda, sister Beatrice Gutierrez, and brothers Rudy Banda and David Banda.
