A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family with funeral expenses.
May Hernandez, who set up the page, wrote: “Today … we lost the most loving and caring person we all knew. The person who walked in a room with the most biggest smile.
“Manny was a loving father, son, brother, cousin, and friend. God had other plans for him and as family, we will do our best to carry on his legacy.”
