The Hog Ring - Trimmer Joe Herrera Jr. Dies at 63

Trimmer Joe Frank Herrera Jr. of San Antonio, Texas, has died at age 63.

Joe was born on December 15, 1959 in California and worked throughout his adult life as an upholsterer.

“He was a very generous man as well as strong-willed, but with that said, he loved everyone just as much,” according to his obituary. “He was an outstanding auto upholsterer and refurbished furniture as well. But his specialty was custom cars and won many awards.”

Sadly, Joe died on November 22, 2023. He is survived by siblings, Rose Laque, Dora Thomas, Laura Lopez and Chris Herrera; as well as 9 nieces and nephews and 7 great nieces and nephews.

“We will miss Joe with all our hearts. Please lift him up in prayer. Fly high with the Angels Joe, you wear your wings well,” his obituary says.

May he Rest in Peace.
