Manuel Espinoza

Manuel “Manny” Espinoza, a lifelong Chandler resident, passed away in his home suddenly on March 17, 2025, at the age of 48.

Manuel is survived by his 6 siblings; Luis, Lorraine, Liliana, Enrique, Saul and Raquel, his 9 nieces and nephews; Tanner, Samantha, Wesley, Isabel, Tyler, Savannah, Sierra, Sienna, and Michael and 4 great nieces and nephews; Grayson, Maverick, Ella, and Elijah as well as his sister-in-law, Alexis and brother-in-law, Jorge.

Manny was born on January 10, 1977 to the late, Maria and Luis Espinoza. Manny loved to explore and dreamed of experiencing life in the way we all should, with playful intentions, love, and curiosity. His laughter made every punch line worth delivering and his strong work ethic made everyone around him wonder what he was working towards. Manny’s combination of hard work and play connected him to strangers that would become like extended family over the years. He was a loyal friend and he loved fiercely. He loved to support his family and would make time to cheer them on, no matter what the event or celebration. No milestone was too small for Tio Manny. His spirit, his presence, and his light will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him and those that grew to love him just as fiercely.
