“Very saddened to learn that local Bay Area legend Joe Hernandez, AKA “Slayer Jesus” has passed away after a long battle.Nicest guy you could ever meet, and seeing him in the pit at the biggest Bay Area Slayer shows I had played was always epic! Only knew him via the gigs and saw him out front at the Bill Graham Civic show, just a hella cool dude. He shared his love of Slayer with his whole family, wife Emmy, and kids Louis and Diego. And he yearly build a haunted house for his own neighborhood, just to do it, to share some fun with the kids where he lived in San Bruno. RIP. Thanks for everything ❤️🤘🏻❤️”
