    Manuel (meño) was the kindest and most loving human beings I’ve ever come across my life. He was forgiving as he was honest with every act and word that came out of him. Manuel was my second earthly father and im so thankful to god all mighty for putting him in my path. I miss him and will keep him in my heart always. Love you Meño and I will see you someday and smile with you along kevin and all our loved ones.

    This world is dimmer now that such a bright soul has gone home. Mr. Barboza, may your wings be as strong as your spirit as they carry you to paradise. It was my honor to meet you and my blessing to know you.

    I regret not having the opportunity to meet Mr. Barboza, but I have served in the military and work alongside his daughter Diana for many years. If she is an example of the man he was I missed meeting someone truly great.

    In closing I say Mr. Barboza, you may rest peacefully as you have done a wonderful job leaving an amazing legacy to carry on your passion, kindness, fearlessness and spirit for a lifetime.

    We look forward to seeing the same in Heaven when we get there.

    Rest
