In Loving Memory of Manuel “Manny” Reyes
It is with a heavy heart that I share this tribute to a truly remarkable man, Manuel “Manny” Reyes. I have had the privilege of knowing Manny since I was a young woman, and I will always remember the warmth and kindness he showed from the very beginning. When he married my dear friend Stacey, I was deeply honored by how he welcomed me into their home and treated me like part of the family.
Manny was a man of deep love—love for his wife, Stacey, for their children, Jacob and Jadin, and for the many family and friends who were blessed to be part of his life. His home was always open, a place of laughter, generosity, and genuine hospitality. He honored my lifelong friendship with Stacey with grace and affection, and that meant more to me than words can express.
As a devoted family man and a hardworking small business owner, Manny led with heart and humility. His presence was a steady comfort and his spirit a source of joy. He had a way of making everyone feel valued and loved.
Though his loss is immeasurable, I take comfort in knowing that Manny is now with our Lord and Savior, at peace and embraced by eternal love. My prayers are with Stacey, Jacob, and Jadin during this time of profound sorrow. I pray that your faith will carry you through, and that you will feel the strength and support of everyone who cares so deeply for your family.
Manny, you will be missed beyond measure. Thank you for the love, the memories, and the legacy of kindness you’ve left behind.
With all my love and continued prayers,
Carissa Beattie
