"I'm so lost without you babe," Fernandez's wife wrote on social media. "I love you to the moon and back and I know you're watching out for us. I will forever miss you. It's always been you.
"Nolyn, Emerson, and I love you so much and you were an amazing father, dog dad, and husband. You'll forever be my rock, and my best friend. I miss you more than anything baby."
