Claude Christino Manzanares

He attended Monte Vista High School, in Colorado, where he met his beautiful wife Becky in which they married on September 5th, 1955, in Del Norte, Co.

Claude was an amazing woodworker and loved to build projects just a few short years ago. His grandkids and great-grand kids have some of his pieces, in which they treasure.

He was an avid golfer and loved going golfing with his two sons.

Throughout the many years of being together, Claude and Becky traveled to almost all 50 states in their motorhome they had. They absolutely loved their time together and traveling together. Claude was in the United States Air Force for 20 years, from 1955-1975, retiring as a Technical Sargent. He was stationed all over the world, but his favorite place to be stationed was at Torrejon, in Madrid, Spain.

Claude is survived by his beautiful bride Becky, and their three wonderful kids: Paula (Randy) Nelson, CE (Lauren) and Mark Manzanares.

Grandchildren: Deena Marie, Karli (Steve), Christpoher Jay, Alexander Jay, Marcus (Cameo), and Chance (Saige).

Great- Grandchildren: Jaxen Jay, Charlie, Link, Oliver, Gwen, Jude, Harvey, Kendal, and Miles.

For 69 years, Claude and Becky were together and inseparable. Becky never had to want for anything because Claude gave her everything she ever needed, and truly was the most amazing husband to her.

Our hearts are broken, but we know he was greeted by so many loved ones waiting for him. Until we meet again, Dad.
