He passed away August 18, 2026, at exactly 4:43 pm. He took his last breath at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.
Hector was a teddy bear at heart outside of him looking like a serious man. He loved working, long drives, animals, vintage trucks, fishing, collecting boots, and pretty much anything that he did he had a love for it. His job was a bricklayer. He had a passion for bricks and blocks. He was a resident of Tupelo for 23 years.
Hector was a man who loved to make those around him smile and laugh. He loved to crack jokes and pick on his loved ones, which was his way of showing his love. There wasn’t one day where he went by quiet.
