Visit the Martinez Funeral Chapels - Tucson website to view the full obituary.

Manny was called home by our Heavenly Father on December 18, 2025. Preceded in death by his father, Joe, brother-in-law Richard and niece Lainy. Survived by his beloved wife, Mary. Survived by his mother, Olga, brothers, Joe (Irma), Alex (Katherine), Henry (Monica), sisters, Lorraine and Lisa (Tony). His children, Manny (Brianna), Raymond (Denisse), stepchildren, Bernadette (Brandon), Rudy (Taylor), Monique (Michael), 12 wonderful grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He had numerous nieces and nephews, a large family and many friends.

Family lived in his heart. He always enjoyed spending time with family. Manny’s love for the game of baseball lead him to coaching. He also enjoyed golf and football. He was a die-hard Phillies fan and loved his Los Angeles Chargers, but nothing was as important as his grandbabies. He was their biggest fan.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider making a donation in his honor to his niece’s foundation, The Lainy’s Light Foundation. You can do so at Lainyslight.org. Lainy’s cause was so important to him, and he would have appreciated the support.

Manny will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
