Manuel Macias Obituary
Manuel A. Macias Jr., 31, was born in Santa Paula on Sept. 28, 1976. He left this world on Friday, Sept. 12, 2008. He was a lifelong resident of Santa Paula and graduated from Santa Paula High School in 1994.
He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in the fall of 1998 and was honorably discharged in 2002. Shortly after being discharged from the Marines, he found his life calling in Yoga. His teaching methods were as unique as he was. He embraced the true spirit of Yoga and did not expect others to emulate him, but rather he adapted his methods to benefit the individual. His success was so great he had a very dedicated following that included private students, senior centers, Braille Institute, MS Society and the Gay & Lesbian Center.
Manuel was a loving, caring, and giving person. He had a personality like no one else and full of energy that was infectious to everyone he came in contact with. He will always be remembered for his beautiful smile and warm heart.
He was preceded in death by his father, Manuel A. Macias; grandparents, Tom and Margaret Dominguez; grandfather, Albaro Macias; and great-grandparents, Luis and Severiana Castro.
He leaves behind his family: mother, Cynthia Macias; sister, Melissa Grisales; brother-in-law, Jackson Grisales; nephews, Jason and Marcus Grisales; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family.
Forever in our Hearts — Namaste.
Visitation will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008, at Skillin-Carroll Mortuary, 738 E.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

He truly was an angel who radiated his kindness and joyfulness in all he did. Vikki's grandma wanted me to say how sorry she was to hear of your loss; especially of someone who had goals and was making so much of his life, Once a Marine-Always a Marine, educated, volunteering his time, and Always remembering his Family and friends, not just on special occassions or holidays, but making each day a Special Day of Life.

Even though I knew the family indirectly through my daughters, I had never personally met Manuel until a couple of years ago when his good friend, Jade, brought him to the Santa Paula Moose Lodge. What a great guy! So sincere, caring, and funny! I am a lot of years older than he was and he always had time to hold a conversation with me. He will sincerely be missed by many. My sincerest sympathy to all the Macias family.

I want to express my deepest sorrow for the loss of Manuel, knowing him since he was a young boy about 8 years old and as he became a man seeing him every now and then in town or at the birthday parties always with a smile on his face, he will truly be missed. May there be some comfort knowing Manuel lived his life on this earth to the fullest. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To the Macias Family - I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. I first met Manny about 15 years ago, when Missy and I worked at City Hall in Santa Paula. There were daily exchanges (either in person or by telephone) and you could tell that the bond between them was very strong. It was evident they were not only "family", but also the very best of friends. Manny, definitely, made a difference in this world and his compassionate and cheerful spirit will be missed by many. May all the many wonderful, warm, and happy memories comfort you during this difficult time. My heart goes out to you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Macias Family. Manuel touched my heart. I was amazed how he gave so much of himself to help other people. It warmed my heart to see how Manuel would reach out to people through his yoga. I will never forget his big smile and friendly manner. I think our organization was touched by an angel and his name is Manuel Macias. I feel honored that I had the opportunity to work with Manuel.

Although I did not know Manny personally, I saw him every week at the gym in Santa Paula. We passed eachother everyday, gave a smile and said "hello". Our little town and gym is very small and you see the same people everyday. I was thankful to see Manny's smile and to also hear about his love and passion for Yoga. He helped others in a way, he probably didn't even know about. We will miss his smile at the gym. God bless the family!

I remember the day he walked into the recruiting office in 1998 and said he wanted to be a Marine. I didn't think he was serious but I quickly learned he was exactly the type who would do well in our Corps and I am glad I had a very small impact on his life and I am so sad he was taken from us so early. God must have needed you more. Semper Fidelis Marine--may you always rest in eternal peace.

I will miss Manual a lot. I recently started a Yoga class at the senior center and there were times that I did not have much energy to do all the exercises, but my cuz Manny made me get off my butt and do them. He always greeted me with a big hug and a big smile. I will miss him a gret deal but he will always be in my hart. I want his family to know that I am here for you and my prayers are with you.

Just last year I received an email from an old high school friend that I had not heard from in a couple of years. That email was from Manuel he found my email address and wanted to see how I was doing. We have been emailing back and forth since that day last year. I had the great privilege of knowing such a kind and wonderful person and will always have the memories of such a great friend. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dios mio... that LAUGH!!! We KNEW when Manny was around... the JOY and STRENGTH of his infectious laughter made everyone turn and smile... Manuel, we knew of each other, but we never really "knew each other"... but as I read of your gifts to others and the sacrifices and love your shared, I KNOW that I was blessed to cross paths with you through our youth and adult years. Manny, may your new existence continue to bring peace and joy to others as you walk with us in spirit... To the Macias family, I offer my prayers, support and love. NAMASTE Manny!

I had not had the pleasure of meeting Manuel yet. I only knew OF him.
I'd heard such incredible things about this man from our friends Jim and Marion -- and how he was giving so much to people through his yoga.
My deepest sympathies to his family and the lives he so profoundly touched -- young, old and everything in between.

I would like to give my condolences to the Macias Family for their tragic loss. I enjoyed being in Manual'syoga class since he first began teaching at the Santa Paula Senior Center and I never missed a class. At 70 I never thought I would be able to stand on my head (but with your help Manual I did) Thank you so much for your patience and understanding of every persons needs. We will never find another like you! God Bless You.

My heart and prayers go out to Manuel's Family. I knew manuel since we were kids. He would always be hanging out at his grandma's house and we would play for hours. He was the kid who alway's made you laugh, to us he was the joker in the group. He will be deeply missed. May he be the angel who watches over all of us.
Good times.

My sweet Manny. Not sure I would ever meet anyone as happy as myself.. and then there came you. You beat me though! I NEVER saw you in a bad mood! Ever. Your smile and laughter were contagious everywhere you went. I will cherish my memories of you.. dancing, cracking up, cooking, wine filled nights, yoga, and of course- our talks. You had a way with children- they loved you. Your peaceful way was beautiful, and I will aspire to live like you. My family will miss you- as well as your family of friends. You will live forever in our thoughts, and forever on our hearts. Much love beast...:)

My Prayers go out to the Macias Family. I went to grade school with Manuel. Him and I were always in trouble because we were always laughing and cracking jokes. We had such a good time. I am so sad that him and I did not keep in touch. I am glad that as a young girl I had him as a friend and got to know him. He will always be missed but the happy memories will remain with me always.

Dear Macias Family
I am very sorry to hear of Manuel passing he was a close friend of my daughter Tanya Paez.. She went to his Senior Prom and they both looked great and had big smiles in the picture. I didn't see him much after that . Just have faith in knowing that Jesus and the angels are taking care of him now.

I was just getting to know you, Manuel, but you made such a lasting impression on me and on everyone who knew you. I remember catching my breath when I was told you were gone. If I feel such a loss after knowing you just a short time, I can only imagine how your family and friends feel who've known you throughout your life. To your family and friends, I send my heartfelt sympathy and hugs of support. Manuel, you will be missed!

Manuel was such an amazing person! I was very fortunate for him to be a part of my life when he would come to my home to teach Yoga lessons to my husband and I. as I was recovering from back surgery, not only did he help me heal, I feel like he is partially responsible for giving me my life back. His fun spirit, peacefulness in yoga, and calm demenaor helped me be grounded with the craziness of life. I always looked forward to those Thursday nights as he would come and I would feel so refreshed, rejuvinated and relaxed. I know he is watching over us now and am thankful he will always be in my heart to remind me about who I am and the important things in life--he has much bigger work ahead of him now to be our guardian angels--lord knows we need it!

As I sit here and think of so many thoughts in my head. The first thing that comes to mind is how we can let people out of lives and regret not keeping in touch until it's too late. Manuel was a very kind, sweet, big hearted person. He always seemed to be in a cheerful mood no matter what the day brought. I think of times when we were in grade school, and I think of him acting silly, laughing and dancing. We even got in trouble with our teachers for that. He always brought a smile to my face. Manuel will be missed greatly, but never forgotten. May God give the Macias family strength through this very difficult time. God Bless you.

Manuel, thank you for always being such a good friend. We shared many laughs, dinner parties, birthdays, nights at Paddy's, etc. You even touched my child's life on the days you'd watch him because I didn't have daycare (Wiggles Dance Party). I will never be able to think about yoga without thinking about you. Your smile will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy goes out to your faimily. I know how much you meant to them and them to you.

I was blessed enough to have worked with Manuel for a short time period in Westlake Village. Him and I hit it off instantly, as his personality was so electric. He always had me laughing, and I never got any work done when he was around. I will miss his energy and smile. My condolences to the Macias Family; as they've lost one of their own, but he is watching over all of us with that incredidble smile of his.

I will always remember that big, bright smile Manny always had on his face. Though I did not see him around much recently it is very hard to forget someone like him. He will be missed and I hope you and your family will find the comfort you need through the wonderful memories he has left behind.
September 16, 2008
My most sincere condolences go out to the entire Macias Family. I knew Manny since grade school and remember Manny was always so happy, free spirited and made sure everyone around him was laughing having a good time. He had a huge heart! If you needed someone to put a smile on your face-Manny was your guy. I am sure he is with God now making Him smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and hope that you may find the strength to overcome your loss.

Our heartfelt sympathy to all during these difficult times. Manuel was a wonderful free caring spirit, I will always remember when they were young and the times they shared with Marcus and Ali. I will always remember the words he said to me his words were "Don't worry Tere everything is going to be okay" I now tell you and I am sure he would want you to know that everything is going to be okay. May God give you comfort, peace, strength and faith through these difficult days ahead. God Bless You All.
