Remembering Manny

Dear friends, family and kind-hearted supporters:

I'm Stefani Garcia, and I had the privilege of being Manny Calejo's daughter-in-law. Manny's journey ended unexpectedly on the morning of October 4, 2023. He was someone who truly relished the great outdoors, and we can't help but picture him hiking his heart out in heaven.

Manny had this incredible love for his family and friends, a kind that was hard to match. His passing left a hole in our lives that we know can never be filled, but we're trying to find solace in all the wonderful memories we made with him. Manny was also an organ donor, so his legacy will live on in the lives he's touched.

I'm reaching out to you through this GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial burdens linked to funeral expenses, as well as immediate and long-term medical, living, and legal costs. Your contribution, regardless of its size, will be a ray of hope for Manny's wife, Giselle, and his family during this trying period.

Let's rally together as a community, as friends, and as a family to honor Manny's memory when his family needs it most. Your support will help relieve the financial stress and serve as a powerful reminder that love, kindness, and compassion endure even when life throws its challenges at us.

So, please, donate what you can and share this campaign with your friends and networks. The Calejo family deeply appreciates all the love and support they've received.

We're also planning a celebration of Manny's life in December 2023, and we'll be sharing the details soon. Manny's son, David, is currently in San Diego, undergoing Marine Recruit training, and we're eagerly awaiting his return to join us in commemorating his father's remarkable legacy.
