Alexander Rodriguez Hernandez was born to Demetria Rodriguez Hernandez on June 6, 2009. Alexander was sadly taken from us on September 18, 2026, at just 17 years old. He was a deeply devoted and loving son and brother.
Born in Visalia, California, Alexander was raised his entire life in Exeter, California. He had recently begun attending Kaweah High School and was working diligently to return to Exeter Union High School. It was his dream to graduate high school and become a hardworking man so he could support his mother financially.
Alexander truly enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was a loving, outgoing, and affectionate young man who always made sure everyone around him was doing well, greeting everyone he met with a warm smile. You could usually find him talking about cars, his family, his future, and his schoolwork. Alexander also loved playing basketball, and he especially enjoyed his $7 meal deal from McDonald’s, Nacho Fries from Taco Bell, and a large orange chicken plate from Panda Express.
Alexander will forever live on in the hearts of his mother, his siblings, and the community of Exeter.
The Rodriguez family extends their deepest gratitude to the Exeter community for their generous contributions toward Alexander’s services and for keeping the family in their thoughts and prayers. Special thanks are given to the Smith Family Chapel for taking such delicate care of Alexander and ensuring his services were perfect. The family also thanks Samuel from the Exeter Memorial Building for welcoming them into their beautiful space, accommodating the many people who loved and adored Alexander so he could be given a proper farewell.

_____________________
Alexander Rodríguez Hernández nació de Demetria Rodríguez Hernández el 6 de junio de 2009. Lamentablemente, Alexander nos fue arrebatado el 18 de septiembre de 2026, a la temprana edad de tan solo 17 años. Fue un hijo y hermano profundamente abnegado y amoroso.
Nacido en Visalia, California, Alexander fue criado toda su vida en Exeter, California. Recientemente había comenzado a asistir a la escuela secundaria Kaweah High School y trabajaba con el firme propósito de regresar a Exeter Union High School. Su gran sueño era graduarse de la escuela secundaria y convertirse en un hombre trabajador para poder ayudar económicamente a su madre.
Alexander disfrutaba sinceramente pasar tiempo con su familia y amigos. Era un joven cariñoso, extrovertido y afectuoso que siempre se aseguraba de que todos a su alrededor estuvieran bien, recibiendo a cada persona con una cálida sonrisa. Por lo general, se le podía encontrar hablando de autos, de su familia, de su futuro y de sus estudios. A Alexander también le encantaba jugar al baloncesto y disfrutaba especialmente de su menú de $7 de McDonald’s, sus Nacho Fries de Taco Bell y su plato grande de pollo a la naranja de Panda Express.
Alexander vivirá por siempre en el corazón de su madre, sus hermanos y toda la comunidad de Exeter.
La familia Rodríguez expresa su más profundo agradecimiento a la comunidad de Exeter por sus generosas contribuciones para los servicios de Alexander y por mantener a la familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones. Se otorga un agradecimiento especial a Smith Family Chapel por cuidar con tanta delicadeza de Alexander y garantizar que sus servicios fueran perfectos. La familia también agradece a Samuel del Exeter Memorial Building por acogerlos en su hermoso espacio y dar cabida a las muchas personas que amaban y adoraban a Alexander, permitiendo así brindarle una despedida digna.
