It is with great sadness, that we share the news of Cynthia and Pancho’s beloved son's, Manuel F. DeLaNuez, unexpected passing.

He was 38 and is survived by his parents, three beautiful daughters – Leiacha, Nalani & Julisa and a large extended family.

He was an amazing artist with a gift for creating incredible tattoos. He loved his daughters, his mom's cooking and he loved to laugh and have a good time. His unforgettable laugh and his distinct booming voice will be forever in our ears.

In the most recent year, he had become quite famous on TikTok, it may seem trivial to some, but on that platform, he was able to share his life experiences and inspire a younger generation who looked up to him. It gave him a sense of pride.  Reading the comments of thanks and love bring the family much comfort.

He loved God and was an incredible prayer warrior. Almost half of the tattoos on his body were spiritual. We know with all of our hearts that he is in the arms of our almighty Father.  Our faith gives us comfort in knowing he has ascended to the heavens.

We are grateful for your support, compassion, and continued prayers.

Due to financial hardship, the family is asking that in place of flowers, you please consider a monetary donation to help with the future care of Manny's three daughters who live with and are cared for by his mother, Cynthia DeLaNuez.
