Tragedy struck LAX Friday as a shooting left TSA officer, Gerado I. Hernandez dead.

Friends and family are now looking back at the man that they suddenly lost and remember his bright attitude and love for his family.

His wife, Ana says:

“He was always excited to go to work and enjoyed the interactions with the passengers at LAX. He was a joyful person, always smiling. He took pride in his duty for the American public and for the TSA mission.”

Huffington Post reports:

Ana Hernandez made the short statement Saturday in front of the couple’s house in Porter Ranch in the San Fernando Valley. Her hands shook and her voice cracked as she read off a folded piece of paper, stopping at times.

She continued:

“Gerardo was a great man who always showed his love for our family. He was always there to help anyone in need and always made people laugh with his wonderful sense of humor,”

Hernandez whose 40th birthday would’ve been next week, was the first TSA official in the agency’s 12-year history to be killed in the line of duty.

Police said airport officers worked hard to save Hernandez, giving him first aid before paramedics arrived and bringing him out in a wheelchair to the ambulance but they sadly failed.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Hernandez family. RIP
