Support Manny's Family in Their Time of Loss

Donation protected
My name is April and I am Manny’s favorite cousin and he made that known :) With the two of us inseparable when we were together, the joke would always be Manny is with his sister.

I have decided to create this page with his wife Latoiya’s permission.

Manny came into Chicago on March 26th for vacation to celebrate our grandmothers 96th birthday and to spend time with his mom and to hang out with his extended family. He had such a great visit and weekend filled with love and laughter but we lost him unexpectedly on March 31st the day he was supposed to go back home to his wife and kids.
His wife and kids will be traveling to Illinois (Chicago) his hometown to prepare for the worst, planning his services.
To know Manny was to love Manny. To know Manny was to know that he loved hard and with his loudness and trash talk, it was his expression of love. To know Manny was to know that he would do anything for anyone if he could.
Our entire family is at a loss and heartbroken by his tragic loss. While we don’t want to do this, we must ask for some help to cover the financial burdens the family will be dealing with. The money will go toward his services and any extras for the financial burdens the family will endure with the loss of household income.
To know Manny was to know that he hustled when it came to making money for his family. He would not want his family to struggle with it.
We ask for help in any way that you can, no amount is too little. If you can’t help, we understand but would love for you to share this page to show your support.
Please keep our family especially his wife, his kids, his mother and grandmother in your prayers during this different time.
