Jaime Tellez Fernandez
November 13, 1956 – September 14, 2026
It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we announce beloved MCC NoVA church member, Jaime Fernandez, died peacefully the morning of September 14, at home surrounded by friends and family.

On A Personal Note….
He made the best guacamole….
I once told Jaime that he was a Farmer, a Gardener at heart, and that he had taken a whole family from one land, transplanted them to another, cared for them and tended them…
and they thrived! And multiplied!
No better compliment to a Gardener.
The man could always make me smile, even on Sundays when a smile seemed hard to come by. He had the presence of a Preacher in the pulpit, and i kept telling him that i was going to have him preach one Sunday. Given time, i know it would have happened. Given time… (sigh)… There is never enough time. Never enough time to do the things you want to. All i know is that my life is so much richer because he entered it. He came with smiles, and the gifts of family, and so many people who have become so dear to me and our community. I’m gonna miss this man. And i will never forget him. Not Adiós, Jaime. Hasta Luego … nos vemos… whenever i think of you.. 🙂 ❤️
Just a few photos… out of the many…

Volunteers welcome!
