Keith Hernandez
Keith Allen Hernandez was born May 22, 1967, in Williston, N.D., to Claudia Hernandez Fegert. He spent his first 10 years growing up in Williston. At the age of 10, they moved to Watford City with his father Albert Fegert. Keith graduated from Watford City High School in 1985. He loved sports, and was active in football, wrestling, and basketball.
Keith and his friends were always up to something. His first job was washing pans at Carl’s Bakery. That gave him and his buddies a reason to sit in the bakery every night and pull their pranks. After graduation, he moved to be closer to some of his friends in Arizona. This is where he met the love of his life, Irma Hinojos. They were married on Aug. 3, 1990. Together they had 3 sons, Chandler, Jacob, and Alex.
Keith was a dedicated employee to Todek Acoustics. He worked for them in Glendale, Ariz., for 40 years. Keith was a devoted husband, father, son, Tata, brother, uncle, and nephew. His boys and his grandchildren were his greatest joy. He loved spending time with family and friends, spending time at the lake camping and being out on the boat. Not only was he a dedicated Arizona Cardinals fan, he was a season ticket holder and avid tailgater. Making sure to attend all their home games. Keith took his love of football and turned it into a passion for coaching high school football. Keith coached The Bulldogs of Barry Goldwater High School in Glendale, Ariz.
Keith really was the life of the party, and will be missed by everyone that knew him and loved him.
Keith will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Irma; his sons, Chandler (Valerie) of Ill., Jacob (Sabrina) of N.D., and Alex of Ariz.; grandchildren, Jayla, Alexa, Jayson, and Ruby Hernandez, all of Ill., Leilani and Elias Hernandez of N.D.; mother, Claudia Fegert of N.D.; brothers, Clifford (Cathy) of N.C., Jeremy (Elizabeth) of Pa.; sisters, Annette Satterly of Ariz., and Kim (Jeff) of Pa.; along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
