Service Details
Angel Charles Hernandez, 8 months and 4 days old, passed away on November 22, 2025, in Des Moines, Iowa. Born on March 18, 2025, Angel brought with him a light so bright it touched everyone who knew him. He was truly a little ray of sunshine - his smile could light up the whole world. No matter how hard life became, one look at Angel's sweet face and the way he smiled made everything feel okay again.
Angel loved his little rice crackers, pacifiers, cookies, and being kept warm and cozy. His mom was his favorite person, the one who made him feel safest and most loved. His Tia was the first to make him burst into a laugh attack, a memory held close by everyone who saw his joy. His godmother also held a special place in his life, surrounding him with love.
Though his time on earth was short, Angel filled every moment with warmth, happiness, and love. His memory will forever shine in the hearts of his family.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at Hamilton's Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines, Iowa.
All Angels go to heaven, little Angel went to soon.

My sweet Angel,
From the moment I held you, my whole life changed. You were always looking for me, crawling room to room until you found me, like you couldn’t rest unless you knew I was close. And the truth is, I couldn’t rest unless I had you close, too. When your eyes found mine and you lit up, it felt like everything inside me clicked into place.
I miss our quiet moments more than anything—us curled up under your daddy’s blanket. He’d pretend we were bothering him, but seeing you tucked against me melted him every single time. You always wanted warmth, and I loved giving it to you. Those moments felt like my whole world in one small space.
I think about our car rides…the way the road would rock you to sleep, peaceful and safe. And when we’d park, I’d bring you to the front with me and you’d stare out the window like the world was something brand new. You were so curious, so full of life, and I loved watching you take everything in like it mattered.
You were my sunshine, my gentle joy, and my reminder that love shows up in the smallest, most precious moments—your smile, your warmth, the way you searched for me like I was your whole world. And the truth is, you were mine.
Losing you has shattered me, but loving you has shaped me forever. I will always be your mom, and you will always be my baby—my Angel in every way.
Rest softly, my love. Until I can hold you again, I’ll carry you with me in every heartbeat.
I love you beyond words,
Mommy

My lil Peanut,
God called you home far too soon, long before any of us were ready to let you go. You are so deeply, unconditionally loved, and your memory will live in our hearts forever. Your bright, beautiful smile lit up every room, and the sound of your sweet little giggle made my heart flutter in a way I will cherish for the rest of my life.
The sparkle in your big brown eyes whenever you looked at me, and that precious smile you gave each time I called you “amor mío,” are treasures nothing in this world could ever replace. Though your time on this earth was heartbreakingly short, the impact you made on our lives is timeless and immeasurable.
Grandma Lois, your Uncle Angel, and all the loved ones who left this world too soon will hold you close and keep you company until the day we are all reunited again.
We love you endlessly, my sweet lil Peanut.
Amor mío, forever and always.
