Miguel was born October 6, 1943 in Jalisco, Mexico and passed away on January 2, 2012. Miguel was a resident of Paramount, CA. He is survived by his lovely wife of over 35 years, Bertha Herrera; four children, Rosario, Veronica, Cesar and Anabel Herrera; and one granddaughter, Giselle Rose Cervantes.

Miguel valued family and work. He was the sole provider for his family and enjoyed working at Weber Metals in Paramount, CA for 30 years. He taught everyone the importance of family unity, strength to endure the tough moments in life and determination to move forward. He was loved all his brothers and sisters, near and far. In addition, he seeked his nieces and nephews so they could always know their heritage.

Miguel leaves an amazing legacy. He was satisfied by his accomplishments for it was more than he ever imagined. A lovely wife, supportive children, caring family, geninue friendships. With his street-smarts, we was able to conquer the world and experience all of life's great pleasures.

He will be greatly missed, yet, we know he is with us. That the relationship we had with him is, now, at a different level. We ask that God grant him eternal peace and rest in the mighty kingdom of the Lord. Amen.

En espanol:
Miguel nació el 06 de octubre 1943 en Jalisco, México y falleció el 2 de enero de 2012. Miguel era un residente de Paramount, CA. Le sobreviven su amada esposa de más de 35 años, Bertha Herrera, cuatro hijos, Rosario, Verónica, Cesar y Anabel Herrera, y una nieta, Giselle Rosa Cervantes.

Miguel valoraba la familia y el trabajo. Él era el único que sostenía a su familia y disfrutó de trabajo en Weber Metals en Paramount, California, por 30 años. Él le enseñaba a todos la importancia de la unidad de la familia, la fuerza para sobre salir los momentos difíciles en la vida y la determinación para seguir adelante. Él fue amado por todos sus hermanos y hermanas, cercas y lejos. Además, siempre buscaba a sus sobrinos y sobrinas para que siempre poder conocer su herencia.

Miguel deja un legado impresionante. Se mostró satisfecho por sus logros porque era más de lo que jamás imaginó. Por ejemplo, una encantadora mujer, apoyo de sus hijos, el cuidado de la familia, y amistades genuinas. Con su inteligencia callejera, fue capaz de conquistar el mundo y la experiencia de todos los de los grandes placeres de la vida.

Lo vamos a extrañar, sin embargo, sabemos que estara siempre con nosotros. Nuestra relación con él, ahora, esta en un nivel mas alto. Pedimos que Dios le conceda la paz y el descanzo eterna en reino poderoso del Señor. Amén.
