The Mendonca and Ireland families invite you to share your love, positive thoughts and well wishes as we celebrate the life of our strong, loyal, compassionate, talented and hilarious Manuel.

Manuel was loved unconditionally by parents Michael and Carol - admired and adored by siblings Jabriel, Natasha and Jalen - cherished by grandparents Bernice, Adriana and Tomas, and dearly loved by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. His infectious presence will be deeply missed by so many, but we take solace in knowing that he has transitioned from his time with us on Earth to a plane of eternal peace, harmony and clarity.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations in Manuel's name to the men's shelters at Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre. Go to: https://www.conccommunity.org/donate/ and select Shelters, Drop-In & Housing Programs when it asks which type of programming you would like to fund.
