Manuel served in the United States Navy on active duty for eight years, during which he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal. He was honorably discharged and then began work as an electrician for four years, until he was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease due to hypertension and diabetes. Battling this illness, he lost both of his legs and became disabled. But despite his disability, he still always had a smile on his face and never failed to make those around him laugh with his bubbly personality. Manuel enjoyed spending time outdoors. He particularly loved fishing, long drives, and traveling-especially vacations spent with his family. He also enjoyed exploring garage sales and attending cookouts where he got to spend time with his relatives. Manuel was also mechanically inclined and was often repairing cars or any equipment that needed fixing. Most importantly, he was always that to offer a helping hand when needed. Manuel was always dedicated to his work and family. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
