In loving memory of Manuel Angel Rodriguez Jr., who was a young, loving, outgoing, caring young man, son, and father, who was taken away from several family and friends on 12/20/2025 at 4:20 pm due to a careless driver. Lil Manny was just enjoying his day when he and a family member were driving down a neighborhood street. A driver ran a stop sign at 12th Street and Malborough in Dallas, Texas striking Manny's car on the driver's side, spinning him around, where he was then rear-ended by another driver. The passenger was ejected from the car while Manny was trapped inside. When medical staff and police arrived, they tried getting Manuel out of the car; however, by the time they could get to him, he was deceased.

Manuel Angel Rodriguez was only 25 years old and leaves behind a 3-year-old son, a wife, a father, a mother, 2 younger brothers, a sister, a grandmother, as well as aunts, uncles, and several friends. Here at the holidays, it's hard on everyone, much harder to lose a loved one. All funds would go to help pay for Manuel's funeral expenses and help his wife and son with any expenses they may have.
