Honoring Quinten Hernandez

Quinten Hernandez was a firefighter with the Glendale Fire Department and a National Guard service member of over 10 years. He and his wife, Kalli, have been married for 2½ years and are expecting their first child in March.

Earlier this year, they were faced with an unexpected and difficult medical journey. In July, Quinten was found to have multiple spinal tumors and was later diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This diagnosis has led to six major surgeries and ongoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic as he awaited a clinical trial.

The unfortunate passing of Quinten has created significant financial challenges for his wife and baby on the way. Their lives have been dramatically affected, and family is deeply grateful for any support offered.
