Manuel's obituary

Manuel “Little” Ayala was born in San Francisco on April 17, 1968 to José Azael and María del Refugio Ayala. His bright smile was taken from this earth on October 20, 2021 at the age of 53 in his hometown of Berkeley, California. His smile, charisma and infectious laugh were well known around town. Little was also very caring and generous to the point of giving to others even when he had very little himself. To know him was to love him.
He leaves behind his surviving family members: siblings; Celia/Eme, Rosa/Rosy, Rudy/Chacho, María/Nena, Zara/Boobie; his nieces and nephews; Olivia, Jasmine, Celina/Lina, Miguel/Mot, Nicolas, Natalie, Lexi and Joseph; and great-nephews; Ignacio and Santiago. He joins our parents and brothers, Ignacio/Nene and José/Baby to rest in eternal peace. May he be remembered as a loving brother and friend.
A memorial gathering will be held at James Kenney Park on Saturday, October 30, 2021 from 12:00 Noon to 6:00 P.M.
Please bring photos, stories, etc. that you would like to share.
Details for his internment will follow.
