Manuel Vigil Obituary

Manuel "Manny" Lupito Vigil, 28, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was tragically taken from us too soon on February 6, 2017.

A lifelong resident of Colorado Springs, Manny was born on June 23, 1988 to Lupito Maximilliao Vigil and Julia Marie Barela-Vigil.

While he worked hard as a landscaper, Manuel took great pride in building and customizing early model Chevy classics. He had a tremendous heart and would always forgive anyone who made wrong decisions. He believed that everyone deserved a second chance. Anyone that was ever around him knew he had so much love for his family.

He enjoyed attending car shows, airbrushing, skateboarding, spending time with his kids, and hanging out with family for weekend BBQs. He took so much pride in always being the very best father he could be to all his kids.

Manuel is survived by his four children, Manuelito Vigil, Ezekiel Vigil, Luciano Herrera-Vigil, and Tzefanya Vigil; his mother, Julia Barela-Vigil; father, Lupito Vigil; sister, Chastidy (Brandon) Caperton; four brothers, Mark Vigil, Christopher Vigil, Matteo (Lorriane) Moreno, and Paul (Larissa) Vigil; his grandparents; uncles; nieces and nephews; and the rest of his family.
