He is survived by his adoring wife, Brenda Luna, with whom he shared a deep and everlasting bond, exemplified through their shared adventures and commitment to faith. A guiding beacon to his children—Hector Luna III, Anthony Luna, Amanda Luna, Hillary Luna, Sandra Andrade, Jasmine Pazos, Priscilla Andrade—and an inspiration to his ten grandchildren, with the anticipation of welcoming Baby Luna, Hector's legacy of love and laughter lives on through them. The Luna family fondly remembers him as a devoted son to his mother, San Juana Luna Flores.

His family connections were a central part of his existence; one could always find him organizing family gatherings, ensuring each moment spent together was cherished.

His colleagues revered him as a visionary leader who fostered a one-team ethos, instrumental in making the Arlington plant prosper. Fostering friendships with his co-workers, Hector was revered not just as a boss but as a cherished friend to many. Beyond his career, Hector had a passion for the outdoors, often found fishing, drawing with meticulous attention to detail, or creating memorable BBQs for his loved ones .  Our dad loved to dance and sing karaoke he never missed any birthday of any family member with a phone call singing "Sapo verde to you, you live in a zoo, you smell like a monkey and you look like one too". Just days before his passing, he gathered his family for a meal, a testament to his dedication to family connection and unity. Hector's impact was not confined to the circles of his family and work; he radiated love, integrity, and kindness.
