At the age of 18, he moved to Brownsville, Texas, to pursue a lifelong career selling used cars and as an auto mechanic. He had a great passion for culinary. He loved to make grilled liver, eggs however you liked them, grilled steaks, salsa in a molcajete, and much more. Manuel always had a desire to always help others, whether it was with their vehicle or with whatever they were going through. The love Manuel had for music was astonishing. Whether it be when he was cooking, showering, or sleeping, he always had his music on. Manuel loved to dance to ranchero music with his favorite dance partner Alma.
