Manuel Aguirre-Lara

November 20, 1960 — September 24, 2025

Manuel Aguirre Lara, un esposo, padre, abuelo, hermano y amigo devoto, partió en paz, rodeado del amor de su familia, el 24 de septiembre de 2025 en Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nació el 20 de noviembre de 1960 en Zacatecas, México, hijo de Eucario Aguirre Yáñez y Carmen Lara González.

Durante 42 años, Manuel compartió su vida con su esposa, Felipa. Juntos construyeron una familia fuerte y llena de amor, que era el centro de su mundo. Fue un orgulloso padre de Brenda (Hender), Cristina (Edgar), Cecilia, Carolina, José Manuel (Angelina) y Mariana. Su mayor alegría era ser "Papi Manolo" de sus 11 consentidos nietos: Andrea, Regina, Damián, Emma, Edgar, Raquel, Manuel, Gianna, Leonardo, Olivia y Oliver.

La vida de Manuel fue un verdadero testimonio de amor, fortaleza y generosidad. Aunque sus primeros años estuvieron llenos de retos, logró construir para su familia una vida basada en amor incondicional, apoyo y union. Siempre estaba dispuesto a tender la mano a quien lo necesitara, recibiendo a todos con los brazos abiertos y considerando a su familia extendida no solo como parientes, sino como verdaderos miembros de su familia.

Tenía un maravilloso sentido del humor, siempre con un chiste, una cálida sonrisa y un abrazo reconfortante. Su honestidad, optimismo y firmes valores dejaron una huella profunda en todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Incluso durante su enfermedad, Manuel se mantuvo como un pilar de fortaleza y esperanza, inspirando a quienes lo rodeaban con su espíritu inquebrantable.

Entre sus alegrías más simples, Manuel disfrutaba especialmente compartir helado de vainilla con nueces con sus nietos. Estas pequeñas y dulces tradiciones se han convertido en recuerdos que su familia atesorará por siempre en sus corazones.

Para sus hijos, Manuel no fue solo un padre amoroso, sino también un ejemplo a seguir, un maestro y una inspiración. Para sus nietos, fue una fuente infinita de risas, abrazos y amor. Para sus amigos y hasta para aquellos que recién conocía, fue un hombre de bondad, integridad y profunda compasión.

Quienes conocieron a Manuel siempre lo recordarán como "un buen hombre": un alma única cuyo amor, generosidad y alegría hicieron del mundo un lugar mejor.

Su legado de entrega y bondad vivirá para siempre en cada abrazo, cada sonrisa y cada recuerdo compartido por quienes tuvieron la fortuna de conocerlo y amarlo.
