Paul Anson Hernandez, also known as “Nature Boy,” was born on August 4, 1965, in Newton, KS to Russell Hernandez and Teresa Martinez. On July 7, 2025, Paul was called to heaven.
He is survived by his son, Eric Hernandez; daughters, Sharayah Hernandez, and Gabrielle Hernandez; son-in-law, William Quarles; grandsons, Max, and Sighier Anson Hernandez and grandpup, Tank.
Everyone who knew Paul knew how funny, caring, resilient and loving he was. He loved to tell the most outlandish, goofy stories and yank on people’s chains just to get a good laugh. Remembering Paul is remembering life. He was a man who didn’t let his health complications overtake the beautiful, fun, free-spirited life he chose to live. Whether it was going to rock and roll concerts, screaming at the TV as a die-hard Chiefs fan, or just cruising around on his bike, Paul lived a life full of excitement and happiness. Even in Paul’s final days, his spirit was still full of life as he was surrounded by his family and best friend of 40+ years, Eric Orr.
