Manny was a man whose presence filled every room with warmth, laughter, and music. A passionate guitarist and gifted band leader, he had an incredible ear for melody and a talent for bringing people together through song. His love for food—especially Filipino cuisine—was just another way he shared his heart, always eager to cook, share a meal, and create cherished memories around the table. With his kindness, generosity, and unmatched sense of humor, he had a way of lifting spirits and making life brighter for everyone around him. More than anything, he was a God-fearing man who loved his family and friends deeply, always showing up with an open heart and a helping hand.

Above all, Manny was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather, a cherished brother, and a loyal friend. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed, but his legacy of faith, joy, music, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

The family wishes to express their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support.
