David Manuel Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Mission Park Funeral Chapels South, Cemeteries & Crematories on Jan. 1, 2026.
David Allen Manuel has entered eternal rest on December 30, 2025, at the age of 62 in his hometown of San Antonio, TX. Born on March 9, 1963, to William Adam Manuel III and Patricia Klein.

David is preceded in passing by his grandparents. David is survived by his sister, Sabrina Rihn (David), his brother, Robert Klein (Donna), son, Adam Russell Manuel, and his mother, Patricia Klein. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Geneva Hudel (Danny), Edward Ray Brietzke, Briana Brietzke, and Darren Blair, his great-niece, Rayana Gail Brietzke, his beloved companion, Rainbow, amongst many great friends.

David had a passion for fishing and cooking. In the kitchen, David's culinary creations were a source of delight for all who had the pleasure of tasting them, notably his pickles and tamales. David was a jack of all trades, having learned invaluable skills from his grandfather, which he carried throughout his life with pride.

David was a loving brother, father, son, uncle, and friend. His memory will be cherished and kept alive in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with this remarkable man.
