Miguel Patino Hernandez, also known as Mike, died unexpectedly on June 6. He was 58 years old.
Mr. Patino Hernandez, a longtime resident of Watsonville, was born on Nov. 1, 1962, to Ponciano, Sr., and Antonia P. Hernandez.
Mr. Patino Hernandez attended E.A. Hall Middle School and Watsonville High School. After graduation he served in the Army.

Mr. Patino Hernandez had a great personality. He was an avid 49ers fan and his favorite activities included fishing at San Luis Dam Reservoir, playing cards, riding his bike and cooking. But what he enjoyed above all was barbecuing for his family and friends.
