Manuel Robles-Grajeda, age 72, of Hays, Kansas, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2024, at Hays Medical Center. He was born on September 1, 1951, in Chihuahua, Mexico, to the late Andres Robles and Guadalupe Grajeda. On December 3, 1972, he married the love of his life, Hermelinda Trevizo, in Chihuahua. Together, they embarked on a journey, moving to the United States in the early 1990s and eventually settling in Hays, Kansas, 13 years ago.

Manuel was a dedicated farmer who took great pride in his work. However, his true passion lay in his family. He was a loving husband to Hermelinda, a devoted father to his children, and a doting grandfather to his 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Manuel's playful spirit and sense of humor endeared him to his family and friends. He was known for his fondness for pickled jalapeños, which he enjoyed daily, his love of games, particularly pool, dominos, and poker, and his jovial nature brightened many gatherings.

He is survived by his wife, Hermelinda, of Hays; his children, Manuel Robles of Burlington, Colorado, Dora Robles and husband Javier Arzaga of Stratton, Colorado, Alejandro Robles and wife Patricia Cano of Hays, Hilda Robles and husband Jesus Bustillos of Hays, and Ivan Robles and wife Johnae Blackmon of Hays. Manuel is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, and a brother and sister in Mexico.

Manuel was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Maria Robles; and his seven siblings.

Funeral services to celebrate Manuel's life will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, April 4, 2024, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Hays. Following the service, Manuel will be laid to rest in the church cemetery.

Visitation will be 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM on Wednesday April 3, 2024 at Keithley Funeral Homes and Crematory-Brock’s Chapel 2509 Vine Hays, KS 67601. A rosary service will be at 7:00 PM

Friends and family are invited to share memories and words of comfort on Manuel's tribute page at www.keithleyfuneralchapels.com. 

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory continue to bring a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories to those who knew and loved him.

Fue un esposo amoroso para Hermelinda, un padre devoto para sus hijos y un abuelo cariñoso para sus 15 nietos y 2 bisnietos. El espíritu juguetón y el sentido del humor de Manuel le granjearon el cariño de su familia y amigos. Era conocido por su afición por los jalapeños en escabeche, que disfrutaba a diario, su amor por los juegos, en particular el billar, el dominó y el póquer, y su naturaleza jovial alegraba muchas reuniones.

 Le sobreviven su esposa, Hermelinda, de Hays; sus hijos, Manuel Robles de Burlington, Colorado, Dora Robles y su esposo Javier Arzaga de Stratton, Colorado, Alejandro Robles y su esposa Patricia Cano de Hays, Hilda Robles y su esposo Jesús Bustillos de Hays, e Iván Robles y su esposa Johnae Blackmon de Hays.
