Manuel Venancio Obituary

A memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, December 18th at St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Morro Bay. A Rosary will be said at 10:30 am. In remembrance of Manuel, in lieu of flowers, we ask you to pray the Rosary or offer prayers for all those suffering or in need of mercy.

On the anniversary of Manuel's passing, I want to say I always think of him when I see a man fishing from any of the local central coast piers, walk past a well cultivated fruit tree or pass by the flowers around our Lady statue near the front of St Timothy's parish. His presence can also be felt when enjoying a meal in the Parish Hall, how often did he set up for the parish functions.
God Bless his family,
Love, Ron

Manuel took me under his wing in the parks dept. I had the honor of trying to fill his shoes when he decided to retire and was lucky enough to fill the spot when he left. He taugh me a lot on the job and always showed me nothing but kindness and respect. He was real straight shooter and I was really proud to have him as my friend. Love you Mary.

Manuel's passing is a great lossmto many at St Timothy's Church.
He was a very devout and inspiring Knight and great model to all the new members of the Council 5175. Manuel always led the members in praying the rosary before each meeting.
He was always there to help in setting up the hall for many of the St Timothy's events and ministries.
More than that, we will miss his positive and outgoing demeanor and his many Azorian stories.
Our prayers for Manuel's family.
God Bless,
Ron, Ruth and Chris
