Manuel Mayen Sr. was called home to Heaven on Thursday, January 19, 2023, at the age of 78. Manuel was born on August 8, 1944, in San Antonio, Texas to the late Oscar and Mary Mayen.

Manuel was loved dearly and will be missed by those who knew him. He is reunited in Heaven with his parents and his brother Joe Mayen. Manuel is survived by his loving girlfriend of 18 years Lucy Hernandez; his son Manuel Mayen Jr., daughters Gina Teniente and Katherine Rosas (Juan); 8 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren; and siblings Oscar Mayen, Robert Mayen, Mary Vargas, Elizabeth Shafer, and Stella Mirabel.
