We are heartbroken to say that our beloved Emmanuel has passed away. As we grieve this immense loss, we want to honor his life with a proper homegoing service that reflects the love and kindness he gave so freely to others.

Manny was a man of deep faith, quiet strength, endless generosity and showed his love through cooking. He touched the lives of so many of those he came across— whether through a helping hand, words of wisdom, or simply being present and sharing his humor when it mattered most.

We are raising funds to cover the funeral expenses so we can celebrate his life in a way that truly honors his spirit. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to giving our chef Manny the respectful farewell we know he deserves.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your love during this difficult time.

with love his children.
