Jose Manuel Flores Garcia affectionately known to many as Manuel, passed away peacefully Friday, November 6, 2026, at the age of 58.

Born on July 24, 1968, in Ocampo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, Manuel lived a life rooted in faith, devotion, and love. As an ordained minister, he dedicated his life to serving God and guiding his community with grace and wisdom. Outside of his ministry, Manuel found great joy in the simple pleasures of life; he was an avid gardener who loved tending to the earth and a passionate coin collector. Above all else, he was a devoted family man who cherished every moment spent with those he loved.

Manuel was preceded in death by his father, Isidro Flores; his mother, Demitila Garcia; his sister, Elvilia Flores Garcia; and his beloved grandson, Christopher M. Green Reyes.

His legacy of love and faith lives on through his surviving family: his devoted wife, Shirley Flores; his daughter, Theresa Reyes; and his son, Abel Hinojosa Jr.; a proud and loving grandfather to Erika, Ava, Isabella, and Conner, and a doting great-grandfather to Archer;

he also leaves behind his brothers, Isidro, Arturo, Jose, Joaquin, Hilario, and Armando; his sisters, Blanca and Idalia; as well as a large, extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss his warmth and guidance deeply.
