You may have known him as Manny, Manuel, Wiki, or Alejandro; but to me he will always be Tio Winky.

 

Dear loved ones,

 

On August 7th, 2021 my uncle suddenly and tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident. His immediate family is currently in the process of preparing for his wake and furthermore his cremation. These are all hard words to write as we are scrabbling to grasp this deep loss. Being one of the younger siblings has left a huge whole in our hearts.

 

Due to the abrupt nature of his passing, we ask for your financial support in providing an appropriate farewell to such a kind, loving, and wonderful individual. Any and all donation helps.

 

Our family is grateful to those who have loved and cared for my Tio Winky over the years. I invite you to help us celebrate him one more time whether it be in person or through donations. I will be one of the main organizers to distribute the funds collected.

 

Donations may be sent to me on this platform or via Zelle at or Venmo (@Soraya-Limon) if you feel more comfortable through those mediums.

 

Furthermore, share and send this information to others via platforms not mentioned beforehand (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, etc). Feel free to contact me through Facebook Messenger at (Soraya Limon) if need be.

 

Tio Winky touched more lives than I could count. Again, we appreciate you all for being in his presence and sharing his memories. And in his iconic words, “Aye, I love you foo!”

 

Sincerely,

 

Soraya Limon, his niece
