Jared Timothy Hernandez

Jared was born on July 5, 2020 in Kankakee, Illinois. Jared relocated to Peoria, Az. with his mother and step-father in 2016.

He was a 2020 graduate of Ombudsman High School, Peoria, Az. He began his adult career and was an authorization representative of American Home Shield, Phoenix, Az. He was a rising star with the company and was on his way to a successful career. Jared lived life to the fullest, and his 19 years were filled with activities Jared enjoyed. He loved his Infinity G35, it was his pride and joy, and used the road as his personal racetrack. He loved learning to customize his car and was enjoying the process to restore it. Jared loved to laugh, and surprise family with his sharp wit.

He enjoyed playing the piano and could play just about anything by ear and loved any type of music from classical to rap. He loved driving and exploring the mountains and the scenery of Arizona, and never met a mountain he did not want to climb. He loved to watch the sunrise from the top of South Mountain with an iced coffee in his hand.

Jared is survived by his mother Jennifer Lachtara and step-father Jonathan Lachtara, father Joseph Hernandez, brother Joey Hernandez, sister Jada Lachtara, step-brothers Christian and Sam Lachtara, grandparents Timothy and Peggy Benton, Dan and Pam Whorwell, Dee Hernandez, and Dolores Lachtara, and great grandmother Maxine Benton. He was loved by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
