Manuel is survived by his beloved wife, Angelina R. Abelinde, and his cherished children, Sharon, Aaron, and Arwin. A deeply devoted family man, Manuel found his greatest joy in being with those he loved. He especially treasured traveling back to his beloved Philippines, where he remained closely connected to his roots, family, and lifelong friends. His most recent visit, about a year ago, was spent cherishing precious moments with those closest to his heart.
A man of strong Catholic faith, Manuel lived with humility, kindness, and gratitude. His faith guided him throughout his life and was a source of strength and comfort to him and to those around him.
Manuel will be profoundly missed by his family and the wide circle of friends whose lives he touched through his warmth, generosity, and genuine care for others. His memory will live on in the love he shared, the faith he practiced, and the bonds he nurtured across generations and across oceans.
