Manuel grew up with his siblings in the rural countryside learning the value of hard work at a very young age. He went to school only to the third grade, leaving his schooling behind to help his father tend to the family’s ranch. Once on his own, he would work on a ranch in San Simon, AZ for many years and then later work construction building power plants all over the United States with his brothers. Manuel loved raising and training horses, gallos and enjoyed getting together at the horse races on the weekends with friends and family. He discovered however, throwing washers, and quickly developed a lifelong love of the game. Manuel was well known locally for his precision at the sport having won many washer tournaments with his nephews Pepe Maldonado, Jose E. Ruiz and Johnny G. Ruiz.

Manuel would also gain five amazing grandchildren from that marriage, Andrea Flores of Deming and her two children; Noelani and Cassiel; Jose Manuel Garduño of Deming; Paul Porras Jr. of Buckeye, AZ; Jenni Ramos of El Paso TX and Omar Adrian of Fort Morgan, CO. Manuel had well over 100 grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, too many to list, whom he loved and cherished very much.
