Alfred (Fred) Guadelupe Hernandez

Alfred (Fred) Guadelupe Hernandez, 73 passed away peacefully at his home on November 1, 2025. Fred was born October 6, 1952 in Worland, Wyoming, the third child born to Guadelupe and Margaret Cecilia (Rodriguez) Hernandez. He grew up in Worland Wyoming, graduating in 1971. A lifelong resident of the community, he was known for his warm heart, steady presence and unwavering dedication to family and friends.

Due to bone disorders on his back and numerous surgeries, wrestling was the only sport Fred could participate in. He excelled, becoming the 1971 Wyoming State Champion for 123 weight class. During wrestling, the family hosted a wrestler from Japan, Kenji Lu. Kenji wanted a buzz cut and loved the tacos their family made, who didn’t?

Fred became the proud owner of Fred’s Pool Hall in the late 1970’s to 1980’s, a local gathering spot that reflected his love for a good game. It was located at the end of the Ram’s Horn Cafe where Firenze is today. Fred moved to Washington in the 1990’s for several years owning Fred’s Specialty Distributing and working in sales. He then came back to Worland.

Fred was an avid Denver Bronco’s fan and enjoyed spending time with his beloved dogs.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Rita Gonzalez; brother, Ernie Hernandez; niece, Roxanne Martinez; nephew, Matthew Salazar and many other loved ones.

Survivors include his siblings, Sandy Graham of Phoenix, Arizona, Natalie Hernandez of Maricopa, Arizona, Greg (Mary) Hernandez of Casper, Wyoming, Leonard (Bobbi) Hernandez of Spanish Fork, Utah, and Kenny (Michelle) Hernandez of Worland, Wyoming. Fred is also survived by long-time friend, Marianne Moore, as well as, many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and many loved ones.
