Manuel served at the HQBN Marine Corps Base 29 Palms from Aug. 21, 2000 – Aug. 20, 2004. He volunteered for deployment during the Iraq war but they didn't want to ship him out. He served his full duty at the Marine Corps Base 29 Palms. He was awarded Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Medal, 2 Letters Appreciation and 2 Meritorious Mast.
He leaves behind his wife of 15 years, two daughters ages 10 and 12 years old, father, mother, sister, and brother, he was the eldest of all of them. After being discharged from the Marine Corps he got hired on with the California Department of Corrections. He served as a Peace Officer until the date of his passing.
