Being the oldest of 11 siblings, he provided his brothers, sisters and their respective families with his unconditional love, care and generosity. When his father passed away years ago, he stood not only as a brother, uncle but as a father figure. He served as a source of strength and always encouraged the importance of love, peace and togetherness among them. He also took care of his mother, welcomed her into their home and showered her with all the love and attention any mother deserves.
Manuel Trinidad was a great cook, had a unique and infectious laugh that made anyone, even at their lowest moment, smile and he was very much loved because of the kind hearted person he was. God welcomed another angel. We shed tears of joy that he is now at rest but also tears of sadness because he will be terribly missed.
