Gil Reyes Manuel
February 25, 1959 - September 5, 2020
Gil Reyes Manuel, a loving husband and father of three children, passed away on Saturday, September 5th, 2020 at the age of 61. Gil was born on February 25, 1959 to Fruto and Leonida Manuel in Santiago, Isabela, Philippines. While earning a bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of the East, he met the love of his life, Maria. Gil and Maria immigrated to the United States and settled in Fresno, California where they raised three children: Gerald, Stephanie, and Kathleen. Gil was widely regarded as the life of the party, always ready to share a beer with friends on the patio and serve his famous egg rolls. All who knew him felt his charisma and warmth. He cultivated his passion for working with the elderly by opening his own home care business, Jordan Gardens. We will always remember the times when Gil would play the piano with his dementia patient, and she would sit next to him and finish the song, as if in that moment, her dementia was cured. Gil loved traveling, singing, playing music, and spending time with his family. Gil was preceded in death by his father, Fruto, his mother, Leonida, and his sister Jocelyn. He is survived by his wife Maria, his three children, Gerald, Stephanie, and Kathleen, his siblings, Neida, Marilou, and Leo Abner, along with many other loving cousins, nieces, and nephews. Virtual funeral arrangements are pending.
