Deepest sympathy to the family. Mr. Manzo would jump in a lake for his students, and did at camp Grady Spruce. What a memory for them and all the staff. Heaven receives an awesome servant. Austin will forever remember Mr."Super Manzo",

My heart and prayers go out to the family. I knew Chris in high school and can't remember anyone who wasn't his friend. Reading all the entries on Facebook and other media, it's apparent that God used him to make a very lasting impression on so many. You are missed.

My son's most impressive memory of Mr. Manzo is when he forgot his lunch the day they were leaving for 5th grade camp. Mr. Manzo went to Subway and got him a sandwich. Last night we had Subway for dinner in his honor. The boy says "I don't think there is anyone who wasn't Mr. Manzo's friend." Thank you for touching so many lives with your servant's heart.

Praying for you Samantha and the boys in this hard time He is no longer in pain and I know he is watching over you and the boys!

Super Manzo will be missed by the children and staff at JAA, but we are grateful he is at peace. Heaven has gained a special angel.
His work with special needs children was incredible and his heart was as big as his smile. My famiy and I are grateful for his help and influence on our son. You are truly missed Super Manzo and we are blessed for having you in our lives.
