Manuel “Manny” Pacillas, Jr. was born in El Paso Texas February 9, 1933, the oldest son of Manuel Pacillas, Sr. and Josefina Pacillas. A lifelong El Pasoan, Manny was a dedicated and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His love extended through his vocation as an educator, coach, and athletic trainer.
Over the course of a well-lived life Manny was recognized for numerous achievements. More than the accolades, Manny felt his greatest impact extended from the love of Elvia, his wife of 64 years, to his family, friends and colleagues, and the numerous students he had the “privilege” of working with over the decades. His Catholic faith was central to him and reflected throughout his life work and as a cherished husband and family patriarch.
