Manuel H Sepulveda

Share your Memorial with Family & Friends Manuel Manny Enrique Sepulveda, 83, of Indialantic, Florida peacefully passed away on Wednesday August 17, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. He was known by most as Henry, though his many aliases were only outnumbered by the friends he made and the laughs he generated during his 83 years of life. He was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in 1939, the oldest male of 13 children. He grew up in Staten Island, New York where at a young age he worked multiple jobs to help support his large family. Ever the life of the party, he took his bombastic personality to the United States Navy. While serving his country he made sure to have some fun along the way, engaging in ship deck boxing matches, learning just enough of the native language to insult someone and being sure to leave his review of the local libations. He received an honorable discharge in 1962 and returned to Staten Island, where he met the love of his life, Anna Di Biagio. They raised their three children in Staten Island before relocating to Easton, Pennsylvania. He worked as a construction superintendent for 45 years and was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 15. Working New York City construction in the 1970s was no simple task and many of the buildings, bridges and roadways stand to this day. He owned and ran his own company with partner Joe Ascolese as well as working for John P. Picone Inc., of New York doing heavy/civil construction until his retirement in 2004 to his beautiful beachside Florida home.
He is survived by his ever loving wife, Anna, of 59 years. She cared for him, made him laugh, put him in his place when it was needed, which was often and most importantly inspired him to be the best version of himself. The twinkle of love in his eyes for her burned bright until the very end. His legacy lives on in his children John and his spouse Cherryl, AnnMarie, and James and his spouse Rachelle. He has seven grandchildren; Mark, Austin, Alec, Avery, Brandon, Promise and Katrina. He joins his father Antonio Sepulveda, mother Carmen Gonzalez Sepulveda, brothers Eli, Bobby, Johnny Sepulveda sisters Delma and Sylvia and one of his best friends and brother-in-law, Angelo Di Biaggio. As the celebration above begins, here his humble soul and humorous personality will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
