Hi, my name is Nayeli and with a heavy heart I am asking for help to bring Manuel Duque home to Miami to lay to rest. After a long and lengthy battle with dementia and Alzheimer, Manuel’s health has recently declined and is need of his loved ones help.

Manuel was born November 25, 1946 in Colombia. He immigrated to the US in his early 20’s as a pilot. He transitioned this later into a successful career in aviation parts sales and later on in life as a realtor. Manuel lived Miami, FL where he was actively involved and helped at Our Lady of The Divine Providence Catholic Church. For the last few years he has reside and been cared for by his son Michael while living in El Paso, TX. Manuel is survived by his 5 children.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to help Michael finalize funeral and transportation arrangements & costs associated with transporting Manuel back home to Miami.

He always kept a big bright smile and enjoyed making people laugh. He LOVED music and dancing and was always willing to help anyone when needed. Manuel was the most loving and kind person and he will continue to live in our memories.
