Manuel Mesa Villa was born in 1972 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.He was one of nine children born to Martina Villa and Manuel Mesa. As a child, he was boisterous and playful, a true jokester among his siblings, with a deep love for animals. In his early 20s, while living in Monterrey, Manuel chose to dedicate his life to Christ. He began attending Iglesia Alfa y Omega and encouraged his family to follow his faith. Throughout his life, Manuel was known for his strong work ethic and generous spirit, always ready to lend a helping hand to his siblings when they needed it most. He came to the United States in the early to mid-90s and built a life for himself in Houston, surrounded by his family. Manuel took his last breath on October 27th surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, and his two beloved dogs, Scooby-Doo and Lobo.
