It’s hard to put into words who Eman was because He was so many cool and had some pretty great qualities. I could say one of his great qualities was how His interaction with the people he met and the people he knew was kind. His heart and actions emanated kindness and you could feel it. He loved people and wanted to always help them. He liked to take things easy and not get to stressed out. He was a true and faithful friend. I’m so sad and my heart hurts to see another bright light leave from our lives. Eman, I hope you are flying high and that your soul is at peace. We’ll sure miss you, until we see you again on the other side. 🙏❤️
I am so very sorry to hear that you have lost Manny. My heart goes out to Manny's family, most especially to Rebecca, Rudy, Oliva, Noah and Toni. Although I was only fortunate to meet Manny once at the Master Gardener's Christmas Party, he was so kind and very funny. I enjoyed talking with him and watching him with his son, Noah. He seemed like a great dad. I know there is really nothing I can say or do to help you all through this, please know that those of us who know you all are thinking of you and sending you our love.
The day Ryan and I ran into Manny and Dilly in town. He noticed I had my camera so he asked me to take a picture of him and his brothers. I could tell how tell how much it meant to him to be around his family and he wanted capture the moment.

You will be missed more than words can express.
Just Eman and his smile.
I have been so sad to learn of Manny's passing. I have so much love for the beautiful Zuniga and Medina families, I consider myself so fortunate to know you all. And though I had only been around Manny a few times at family gatherings, he had this warm, loving and kind light about him. He made a mark and I am forever thankful. This world is not as nice a place without Manny now, though I believe his light, love and spirit will live on in our hearts and surround us always.
